The annual Race Across America kicked off this past weekend in Oceanside, CA and has amateur, professional and Olympic cyclists attempting to ride 3,000 miles to Annapolis, MD.

Most of the competing cyclists have technical road or mountain bikes, full support teams and chase vans. The best are hoping to finish in 7 days. And then there's Ryan Van Duzer.

Duzer, a friend of ours and a rising star on the Travel Channel, is riding a 3-speed cruiser across America... solo. If you know anything about bikes, you know a cruiser isn't the fastest option for cross-country racing. But New Belgium Brewery out of Fort Collins, CO gave Duzer a cruiser and the rest is history (in the making).

Duzer hopes to promote bicycle and environmental awareness with his daring cross-country trip. You can follow Duzer's cruiser Race Across America, on his official website. He'll be posting updates frequently, as well as video and other fun stuff. Check out this video of his first three days on the cruiser...



Best of luck, Duzer! You can Duz it.
