Gary Johnson, 2016 Libertartian Presidential Candidate is racing this year, and that's pretty damn cool.

I'd like to see Greg Gleason do well he's a local gravel ultra endurance BOSS round here. SALSA sponsored rider.

-edit- I don't see gregs name on the start list. Dunno what happened there.

-edit- look at the right list. He's racing!! Dude is so tough. For an "older" guy that races many of the same gravel races that draw me in, he puts the young cocky dudes in check. He's an inspiration to me in that masters guys can still deal the pain :)

Thanks for the heads-up, I don't know nor follow any of the riders but I admire their courage and accomplishments,even if they are unable to complete it. I enjoy reading and watching videos post race.
