Race The Rail



First year for this event based in Watonga, OK.  The basic idea is to ride a bike 32 miles in the same time this train goes 16 miles.  You can read more here: www.racetherail.com

The Trophy

Everybody gets a cowbell!  Can't have enough cowbell!

Sean and Kevin before the start


Roads were rougher than we expected (that's a joke people)


Winds dropped us from the larger pace group.  This is on the return trip.   I like this picture because I'm in the lead.

And here is the train we beat


Overall there were 127 riders with 34 beating the train.  Our small group passed the train after 29 miles of the ride.  We finished with an average speed of 22.1 mph in 1:26.26.  The train finished in 1:37.
