Paceline Rerun: #175: Iron Cross, Outride Foundation

We’re dipping into the archives this week with John off to New Zealand.

This week Selene discusses her experience with Iron Cross, the gravel/cyclocross/insanity event that takes place in Central Pennsylvania. This is her tenth anniversary of doing the race and she has won it four times previously. The event is so challenging the word “ludicrous” comes up, possibly more than once. Conditions that day were not the best and Selene said she wanted to just roll over and stay in bed. However, she said she was going to ride in honor of our friend Andrew Bernstein who was hit by a speeding driver in a van in Boulder. She kept him close for a hard day. The Outride Foundation is a nonprofit that Specialized started to help study and quantify the value and benefits of cycling on focus and health. Patrick visited them yesterday along with his friend Jeremiah Kahmoson and three of Jeremiah’s students. While the kids rode the pump track behind one of Specialized’s buildings, Patrick learned more about the work that Outride is doing nationally, not just for one school local to him.
