Race Across Oregon (2 course records), Furnace Creek 508, UMCA North American 500 Mile Time Trial Champion, 4 consecutive 10k mile years. I no longer bike after being hit 3 times by drivers who violated the law, but were never held responsible. I no longer want to risk my life for the fun of riding bike.

2010 Furnace Creek 508
In October of 2010 I completed a 4 year goal of finishing the Furnace Creek 508, an Ultra Cycling race billed as "The Toughest 48 Hours in Sport". I had planned to put together a video of the experience, however I could never come up with a plan on how to document what ended up being just a long bike ride.

ReplyDeletewell presented

next year
ALL the way
j murray
yup, but I didn't have a camera with me. A little sparse on data from the top of Townes Pass to Badwater too. Middle of the night, I guess none of us were as sharp mentally as we'd have liked to have been.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, next year ALL the way.
Are you kidding me?! This video was astounding and Desert Cayote, you are my hero. BRAVO!
ReplyDeleteI'm writing this in 2012....wondering if you completed the race....I'll check around. Thank you!
I did, I went back in 2010 with a determination to finish that outweighed any doubt. There were 6 other Oregonians there, all more storied than I, I voted myself the most likely to DNF, but absolutely knew I would finish. I ended up being the only Oregonian to finish.
