Peyton man becomes male winner of Race Across America
PEYTON, Colo. (KRDO) -- Meet Erik Newsholme. He lives in Peyton, and he’s one of the best cyclists in the world. He just biked 3000 miles in 12 days and was the male winner of the Race Across America. The course goes from Oceanside, California to Annapolis, Maryland.
“I’ve been called crazy and insane in the same ride when I talk about doing this. You just have to change your definition of crazy," Newsholme says. "I had a calling. I have the ability to sit on a bike for a very long period of time. I decided to take on the toughest bicycle race in the world.”
