“Put it on the calendar. Tell someone. Take your adventures seriously - it is riskier than staying home. Take the outdoors seriously and with a humble, respectful attitude. Make a plan and execute—go for it. That first couple steps... the first couple pedal strokes- that’s the hardest part. ”
It's a pretty rad day when I get to accompany a friend for a solo mission- like, running rim 2 rim 2 rim... at the Grand Canyon- where I'd never been, and always wanted to visit...
So it came to be that I got to join Danny, a SWA pilot and ultra-runner/insanely-talented mountain biker, for his solo r2r2r endeavor. It is a special day when a person goes out to do a big audacious thing when there are no start or finish lines, no spectators, no one at all to cheer or support - what a wonderful and fulfilling thing it is to do a big thing simply for oneself and as a personal goal.
Danny absolutely crushed his goal- and had a super successful day doing r2r2r. Here, he shares his prep, as well as what he took with him and how he set himself up for the best possible day. It was such an inspiring event to observe.
