Biography

Grajales comes to Rock from Jittery Joes. A fierce climber, Grajales first made a name for himself on the slopes of Brasstown Bald when he defeated Lance Armstrong on the queen stage of the 2004 Tour de Georgia. This quiet Colombian is as true a climber as they come; the steeper the road, the better.
