East Texas Showdown gravel bikepacking race this weekend

[Peter Rajcani]

Hi LSRs

Tomorrow I will line up for the East Texas Showdown for the third time. I will be riding the 273-mile Slowdown route on Friday and Saturday and the 70-mile Gravel Throwdown (aka Death Star Loop) on Sunday. My bike is packed and ready to roll! Here is my tracking link:

Good luck, Peter. If you're as well prepared as you're bike looks to be, you'll have no trouble at all. Ride well. Ride safe.

Cheers,

Thank you Pam and Gary! I finished the 273-mile course (60% gravel) in 42 hours. We started on Friday at 7 am and I finished at 1 am on Sunday. The course was challenging with 11,000 ft of climbing and several sandy roads that were not rideable, so I ended up walking about 3 miles.

Here is my finish photo. I will post more photos on the LSR Facebook page

Take care,

Peter
