The 365-Mile Epic Ride That Started It All

El “OG” Vegas In 24 fue una prueba de concepto de alto riesgo llevada a cabo por el fundador de Ho'Omau. Andy Funk. Recorriendo 365 millas sin parar desde Los Ángeles hasta el cartel de Las Vegas, Andy estableció el tiempo más rápido conocido del mundo en pie, 20:41:25. Lo que comenzó como un esfuerzo benéfico masivo para apoyar la atención del cáncer de mama se convirtió en el modelo de lo que ahora es respetado como el más duro desafío de ultra-ciclismo de un día en el mundo. En esta página se describen las agallas, la tormenta mediática y el equipo profesional que sentaron las bases para todos los corredores que han tomado la salida desde aquel día.

La misión de 2016 no solo captó la atención del mundo del ciclismo, sino que se convirtió en noticia nacional. Desde seguidores de Hollywood hasta iconos mundiales de la resistencia, el evento “OG” demostró que 365 millas es una historia que merece la pena contar.

Portrait photograph of Juliana Buhring, world record holder of the fastest female circumnavigation of the globe by bicycle, who quoted the original 2016 Vegas In 24 ultra-cycling challenge by saying that "doing it unsupported takes the challenge to a whole ‘nother level of difficulty both physically and mentally."

“Pedalear 365 millas en 24 horas será duro, pero hacerlo sin apoyo eleva el reto a otro nivel de dificultad, tanto física como mental. No hay duda de que esas 24 horas serán algunas de las más duras y gratificantes de su vida. Estoy deseando ver el recorrido de Andy‘.”
