Dirt Sweat & Gears

Dirt Sweat & Gears, the next and fourth stop on the USA Cycling Ultra Endurance Series calendar, will take place as a 12-hour race on May 9. Current US national short track and marathon champion Jeremiah Bishop will be among those testing their endurance racing skills.

"Since I have never done a 12-hour race, it puts me into uncharted territory so it is going to be an adventure," said Bishop. Returning 2008 DSG champion and MonaVie Cannondale teammate Tinker Juarez promises to give Bishop a solid run for the money. And with the likes of Josh Tostado, Harlan Price and Brandon Draugelis the men's solo race will be a battle royale.
