ONE FOR THE DAMN RECORD BOOKS

When we announced the return of The Day Across Minnesota, never would we have anticipated what is now being referred to as "The Best DAMn Ever". We think that this past weekend's perfect weather might just be a sign that Mother Nature wanted The DAMn to come back. The energy in Gary, South Dakota was electric on Friday night with 413 racers checking in at Buffalo Ridge Resort which is a new DAMn record! 395 brave souls started The DAMn 240 and 18 crazier souls started The Double DAMn 480. We saw a record number of smiles on the course too, which made us smile pretty big. Below are some finish line stats from the weekend that have our minds blown. We are in true awe of them and of EVERYONE who raced!

The complete list of RESULTS are now posted if you're interested. Please keep in mind that our volunteers did their best on accurately capturing your finishing times. If you have a correction, please email us at thedayacrossminnesota@gmail.com and we will look into it. 

A huge DAMn “thank you” to our SPONSORS and to our volunteers, Joel, Jackson, Jenny, Dave, John, Kyle, Carl, David, Hugh, Craig, Josh, and Abigail. Thanks to the kind folks of Gary, South Dakota and Hager City, Wisconsin. Thanks to all of the businesses along our race course, and thanks to all of the DAMn enthusiasts who live on the route who created such an incredibly supportive space for everyone! We don't know who you are or how you found out about us, but thank you for opening your farms and arms to everyone! That's some Minnesota grass roots gravel magic right there! Thank you to all of the support crews for taking the time out of their weekends to party with us. If you haven’t thanked your support crew properly, do it!

Some DAMn PHOTOS from Wark's Cycling Services just showed up. Check 'em out! There will be more coming later this week. The DAMn Store will reopen soon as well for one more round of jersey orders. More information on all of this will be hitting racer inboxes real soon. 

Each of you are what makes The Day Across Minnesota so incredibly special. Each year you all continue to inspire us and one another. This year we saw an 11 year old girl lined up at the midnight start. She raced her heart out until calling it at mile 121. Yes, an 11 year old girl crushed 121 miles of The Day Across Minnesota on her own bicycle. Her parents drove her to the finish line so she could tell us what she did. We don't always cry at bicycle races, but DAMn are we inspired by her... We are hoping to see her and the rest of you at the start in Gary, South Dakota and at our finish line in Hager City, Wisconsin next year.

Alan, Juno, I’m gonna level with you here, Ray has lost it. When we say ‘Ray isn’t Ray’ we mean it. We don’t know why, he’s just not. He is not safe to be around right now. If you have any place you can go, leave. If not, hunker down and lock yourself in the apartment. He’s distracted by some of the others and the power for now. It’ll buy you hopefully a bit of time.

*dashes outside and rips a few more wires away then stuffs them in my mouth and stares at Ray.*

-Concerned anon

⧼*He sighed* okay, alright... I'll trust your words. For now.⧽

(Geez I didn't know shits are this serious- ANYWAY can I now kick down the door???)

⧼...okay, fine, sure, let's get out of here first, I'll find Cos' car keys-⧽

(Yes!!)

The Damned’s 10th Anniversary Tea Party: When Fate, Karma and Alcohol Collide

Finsbury Park, London – Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th July, 1986. Seems a bit odd to write about a gig I went to 39 years ago. I can’t remember much about the performances—it’s all a bit of a blur, except Captain Sensible taking hs clothes off, but the events surrounding it are burned into my memory. It was a day (well, two days) of peaks and troughs, and one of those strange pivotal moments in…
