From Behind the Corn is BACK! And for this one, we’re throwing it back to 2023 with Tyler and Kypton ONeal during their GW75 experience! Through mud and rain, came out stronger on the other side!
“What made the day even more special was having my wife, Melissa, there to support us. She was our biggest cheerleader, waiting at the finish line to take pictures and celebrate with us. At the end of the day, it wasn’t about the race results. The most important thing was that we were out there together, father and son, enjoying the ride and making memories that will last a lifetime.”

Massive shoutout to all the volunteers for this year, but an extra thank you to the extra water oasis and roaming water vehicles who were on the back half of the 75 and last 50 of the 150 course trying to keep everyone hydrated and cool as possible! Our roaming vehicles alone went through over 500lbs of ice. Thank you so much to those who kept signing up to volunteer up until race day. We even had a couple racers finish and go head out with bottles of water and ice. It definitely takes a village to pull this off, and there is no village greater than the Gravel Family!!
This was a tough year with the elements. Mother Nature pushed us to the extreme in many ways on race day. To make sure we’re better prepared, we’ll have hard lined water stops at least every 25 miles in place in 2025. While we also had a record number of sweepers this year, we’re already working with the Nebraska Jeep Club to have more sweeper vehicles as well.
Great job to everyone who showed up and gave it their all this year! Volunteers and athletes alike.

Couple thoughts on the heat potential. TLDR1. We are increasing our ice at checkpoints to use for bottles and body. 2. We are working on adding water stops and will also have rolling water trucks driving the course in reverse on the back half of the 75 and 150 courses.3. Utilize @livehydrationspalenox before and after the race. 4. We will be very strict on time cut offs. We’ll post those times by Thursday evening. 5. You can drop to a shorter distance until Thursday. Do that through your bike reg account. 6. Road are rolling fast and are beautiful right now!!
