Old Man Winter, 2026

Galen and me ready for 40 miles of gravel riding.

Another Old Man Winter on the books. Galen and I did the 10k run and 40 mile ride combo.

Galen put in a heroic effort to get across the ride's finish line. Super proud of him for pushing through the pain.

For myself, I managed to get sick and then drove cross country as prep for the event. I missed my goal of doing the 10k under an hour by seven seconds. I thought I was keeping a close eye on my pace, but there you have it.

I do love this event, and doing it with Galen makes it particularly special.
