Colin Strickland shattered the old Dirty Kanza 200 record time Saturday.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old from Austin, Texas was the first rider in the event’s history to cross the finish line in less than 10 hours. He did so with his first title at a time of 9:58.49.<\/p>\n

Amity Rockwell made a late push to become the 2019 Dirty Kanza 200 women’s champion. The 26-year-old from San Francisco was near the front most of the day, but didn’t hold the lead they were inside the final 50 miles. She finished in 11:59.53.<\/p>\n

Peter Stetina took second place among the men with a time of 10:07.54. Strickland and Stetina, a 31-year-old from …<\/p>\n

From the fixed-gear Red Hook crit races to back-to-back wins at Gravel Worlds, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had success competing in multiple disciplines that are complete opposites. What kind of cycling background makes that possible?<\/p>\n

I would describe myself simply as a bicycle enthusiast. I love all bikes, and if there were enough hours in the day, I would compete in every discipline. But unfortunately, if you want to compete at a high level, you must pick one or maybe two disciplines …<\/p>\n

A Dude Abikes | adudeabikes.com<\/h3>\n

If I had seen a second of that program about dragons and stuff on the Home Box Office channel, I could continue the allusion. But I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t so I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t.

Temps are already topping out at the low 90\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in Austin, Texas. People, get ready, a lack of rain is comin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. I share my tips on how to deal.
