Trans Iowa started years ago with
Russ Clark and some of his mates riding their road bikes as fast as they could
on Highway #20 from the West to the Mississippi River
It was continued by Europa employees
Wild Men Lee V. and Thad P.
Later Jeff Kerchove and this guy took the event to the gravel
and wrote a new chapter to endurance bike racing
