Imagine the will and stamina it might take for you to ride your Trikke 26+ miles in one day. Now, imagine the will and stamina it would take for you to do that 8 days in a row! Well that’s exactly what Washington State trikker Mark Codispoti is doing as he brings his 50 States+ DC/ 51 Trikkathon Tour to the East coast. Like many, Mark sees his trikke as a commitment to health, and with the tragic loss of a loved one, he considers this journey as one way to show dedication to them both. This past April and June, he completed 13 trikkathons and rode 100 miles in the 4th Annual Century Ride. His remarkable journey is documented on his site.

Now, he is swinging through our area and we at Capital Trikke are proud to host his NC trikke stop. Mark will be riding the American Tobacco Trail in Durham on Saturday August 8 beginning at 10 am. This will be a double out and back, with the second 13 miles beginning at around 11:30. All are welcome to come out, ride your own distance, and cheer Mark on. Click here for trail info or join the Capital Trikke meetup at www.meetup.com/CapitalTrikke for all rsvp and updates on this and other rides.
