The daMN race across MN on gravel. 244 miles of dust, swearing, waiting and not sleeping.

The Epic Shit never seems to end. What the hell is this daMN crazy race. We have a 4 person team named the Thunderbolts that rode the race on August 1 starting at midnight.

Let’s meet the Thunderbolts: Jess Moen (very hardy but a touch weird) Katie Schaaf (very tough but quite the Smart Ass) Matt Appleman (my son-in-law cycling business dude and an all around mensch) and me Kevin Shriver ( nicest guy you’ll ever meet and CEO of Team Jackass)

It’s tough to train for this daMN thing but at least we had a relay team so we didn’t have to do the whole daMN thing. We did a 20 mile night training ride to test out lights and test out our sanity. Check for the lights; sanity we are still working on.

Still light
Bats and bugs knocking us around

We are now super confident and have no fear. More posts to come.
