After patiently waiting 364 days finally Triple D 2015 had arrived. After my first ride in 2014 I knew I would be back this year. Triple D is a 100k fat-bike race filled with fun and adventure. Lance Andre is the mad-man behind the organized chaos and really knows what it takes to put on a banging race. There are open bar tabs at stops, pizza galore, and a great award/closing ceremony. To top it all off the race is by no means easy, and believe me I have attempted so pretty hairbrained things on bicycles.
