Gravel Racing Turned Mud in OK

This entry was posted in Racing on by .

I was up early this morning, so at 5 am, I wished my team mate, Brian Jensen, good luck at the Land Run 100, an 100 mile “gravel” road race outside of Stillwater Oklahoma.  I guess the course travels through the territory that was part of the 1889 Land Run, which kind of stole land from the Indians.  He texted me back and said it rained a ton last night and it looked to be pretty muddy.

And he was right.  He said he was going to stop if there was a bunch of walking, but I’d say that would be 50/50% truthful.  It just depended.  Then I saw a few photos pop up on Facebook and thought it would probably just be better to stop and not destroy a ton of equipment and still not finish.  It will be interesting seeing how it all turned out.

Doesn’t look like much fun if it’s all like this.

This is Nick Frey, founder of Boo Cycles, all clogged up.  He came a long way from Colorado to be bogged down in this red muck.  I know, by personal experience, how ugly Oklahoma mud can be.
