We've had a great response for our premier west central gravel event Odin's Revenge which will take place June 30th near Gothenburg, Nebraska & just wanted everyone to know we'll probably take more registrations up til the night before the event. We were limiting the race to 75 riders & have around 65 now but won't turn anyone down if they want to show up & try it, be prepared as NOT all of Nebraska is FLAT! We have riders signed up from CO, NY, MN & MO as well as a good showing of locals from across the state of NE. Check it out at www.odinsrevenge.blogspot.com |

I'm the New Yorker (but only by location, originally from CO). Super excited to be there. Finished DK200 last weekend, think I can pull off a stronger finish for Odin's Revenge.
Can't wait!

Won't be able to make it due to work, but I'll pass the word around here and see if anyone is interested. We have a "couple" people who are kind of into gravel grinders here. ;-)

I was there last weekend, and I didn't get that sense at all. ;-) Emporia was great! Really appreciated your hospitality and a great event. Also appreciated the nearby motel when I rolled back after crossing the finish line at 2am. |

Ohh man, I probably saw you then! I rolled in about 1:40. Long day, but could have been a LOT worse weather wise! Glad you enjoyed the town. They did a great job of organizing the race and post event activities. Too bad the beer tent closes at midnight, haha. I should have ridden faster!

Cool man! I'm staying in the motel they suggested, but I'll definitely be coming over to the KOA to see folks - I'll definitely keep an eye out. I'm actually going to be running a new Vaya, which I'm pretty excited about. |

Ha! Yeah, weather was amazing. I was super stoked about how gentle my first DK200 was on me. Next year, faster... |

I was actually battling whether to use my Vaya or my Chili Con Crosso. I definitely elected to go with the CCC. Hope this choice pays off! |

NEW YORK??? AWESOME! We're stoked to be putting this race on & hope it becomes an annual event & continues to grow, I think! I to was at Dirty Kanza & ended up doing the DK Lite & supporting a couple of friends & my 18 yr old son who was doing it for the first time, he finished at 10:45 pm & I was pretty stoked for that. This will be a learning experience so don't hesitate to give us some friendly feedback after the race to make it better or more appealing in the future, I think people try to hurry through Nebraska when traveling through on I-80 but will be VERY SURPRISED to see what we have to offer just a few miles off the interstate! Travel safe to the race & look me up, I'll be the biggest, tallest guy with glasses helping with the event & I have all the swag to hand out!!!
