Team Cyclepath battled rain, wind, mud in Moab, Utah to complete the AdventureXtream expedition. It was beautiful out there and the ethereal experience of desert mesas, snow-capped mountains, and impromptu waterfalls is one we will never forget. The course was shortened for all racers several times due to the weather and safety issues - the rain was washing out trails/roads and letting loose rockslides throughout the course. Our team went 42 hours total for a completion time at 1pm on Saturday. As of now we placed 21 out of 32 teams but that placement may change as time penalties (for us and other teams) are taken into account. (Edit: Per Karl’s research - Our final placement appears to have us ranked 14 out of 23 teams in division and we were the 17th team to finish out of the 34 total teams that competed in the race.)
A big shoutout to those who tracked us over at CheckpointTracker.com. Thanks for the support and thank you for the wonderful and kinds words that you sent us. We were able to view these during the race and it definitely helped to move us forward! We apologize we weren’t able send audio updates to this website - hopefully we will have this working for the next big race.
Also, a big thank you to Cyclepath.com and ARNavSupplies.com, our sponsors who support our ability to do all this fun, tough, and amazing racing.
Thanks again! Much love from Team Cyclepath!

Nice write up Randy. Our final placement appears to have us ranked 14 out of 23 teams in division and we were the 17th team to finish out of the 34 total teams that competed in the race. A nice mid pack finish! The Dirty Avocados wrote a great race report here:
