This is a race. Not a ride.
The Race Around Ireland is regarded as one of the toughest ultracycling challenges in the world. The race course is 1,336 miles long with 66,000 feet of climbing, circling the entire island of Ireland. Solo racers have a time limit of 132 hours (5.5 days) to finish. Sleeping is optional.
Billy Broadfoot (High Gear Bike Shop) will (once again) be Dan’s Crew Chief for this latest endurance cycling event. Billy will head up an international crew of six, coordinating logistics involving two vehicles (an RV for crew, a follow vehicle, two racing recumbent bikes, food, hydration, clothing, lighting, navigation, etc.).
Billy and Dan will be off to Ireland on August 23rd for a Race start on August 27th. At the time of this writing Dan is the first and only recumbent ultracyclist and the oldest (71) entrant to take up the Race Around Ireland.
Billy and Dan are no strangers to long-distance endurance cycling. You can learn more about Dan, his bikes, his training and the Race Around Ireland (video and pics) by going to his blog: TRAINING.
Dan will be supporting research to end brain cancer through the charity 3000 Miles To A Cure. Dan’s Facebook page END BRAIN CANCER NOW includes important information, links and updates.
