The CO Posse represented at the 2009 Dirty Kanza.  85 racers toed the line, only 15 finished due to heat, wind, and topography.  Chad “the muscle” Meinert rode strong with the front group putting in a steady effort over 205 miles to place 7th overall in a time of 19 hours and 26 minutes.  I on the other hand struggled with the heat and wind early on, but was persistent in my effort which paid off in the end.  I was able to ride the last 62 miles with Chad to claim the single speed victory.  I was not the strongest rider out there but due to attrition I got it done.
