Wow. Western Nebraska Beat Down.

I just saw this one and am going to steal it right from Shane over at Gravel Quest:

Odin's Revenge:

" Well, you're right - Nebraska isn't on the front range, but at under 5 hours western Nebraska is still a hell of a lot closer than most of the Midwest grinder round up.

Odin's Revenge appears to be taking form for late June. According to the on Guitar Ted's blog post the event should be about 180 miles leaving from Gothenburg, NE.  It's new, details are not final, there's no website and there may be limited space, but it could be a good event if it really comes together."

Sounds like an alternative to DK200...or in addition to...whatever floats your boat.

  1. UPDATE - The website for this event is up and running, albeit in early development stages. Check out the photos of the course. This thing looks awesome! If I'm recovered from DK200, and there's room I hope to go. Looks like a fantastic route in any case.
