It’s the question I’ve been most frequently askeD about the race anD the least unDerstooD. How Does one get the notion that a 500-mile bike riDe throuGh the California desert in 48 hours or less is a GooD idea? My introDuction to the race was 5 years aGo when my Brother, Erik completeD the course as a solo contestant. I was on his crew DurinG the race anD it left an indelible mark on me. I knew my brother was one tough nut but to see him poundinG out the course hour By hour maDe my oBservations real. I think we’re all woweD By elite performances at events like the Olympics but the longest, touGhest event is what, a marathon of arounD 2 hours? To witness Erik still crankinG his way up monster climBs at mile 450 anD lookinG as stronG as he Did at mile 45 was the pinnacle of elite to me anD somethinG I’ll always Be extremely prouD of him for. Every year since Erik’s solo finish, I’ve participateD in the event as a riDer or crew memBer, the race is that adDictinG. 200 solo riDers anD teams show up in California at MaGic Mountain anD skip the theme park to ploD along the Dry, hot, lonely anD cruel Desert all the way to the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. The race draws out a unique Breed of human BeinG.
