Well, tomorrow morning we are headed down to Canyon, Texas to race in the "24 Hours in the Canyon". This event is held at the Palo Duro Canyon State Park which is about 30 miles south of Amarillo. The is the second largest canyon in the United States behind the Grand Canyon.
I have heard they put on an outstanding race and it is suppose to be extremely competative with great teams coming in from all over Texas and New Mexico. I am pretty stoked about our team, which is called the Kansas 29ers. The 4 man team includes, Bill Clinesmith, Steve Dutton, Jon Shank and myself. It is a 9 mile loop and the temps are expected to be around 100 during the day so our bodies will definately be tested. The race starts at Noon on Saturday and ends at Noon on Sunday.
If we are able to get cell coverage in the Canyon we will be posting updates on Facebook as well as Twitter. You can follow our tweets at either MikeJohnsonMTB or Pedalstroker, which is Jon Shank. You can view the race web site at www.24hoursinthecanyon.org and also click on the title of this blog to view a video of the canyon. It is really awesome!
Thats all for now, I will be posting a post race report early next week. Until then, stay "Clipped In and Crankin".
