For what seemed like months, Jeff Gahnz has finally returned from the world’s first intergalactic bike race. It took Gahnz almost a year to fully prepare himself for this event, meeting all of NASA’s requirements before starting the race in Green Bay, WI. Gahnz, who had been ‘mentally checked out’ from his job weeks prior to the big race, seemed pensive and mentally ready for the challenge.

“I learned a lot from this experience,” said Gahnz. “Like how to breathe in space and how to weld a rocket engine on a mountain bike. Both were not easy tasks.”

Three other brave bikers joined Gahnz as they made their way from Earth, to the Moon, to Mars, and then back. Participants suffered only from an acrid smell that comes with any long journey, and minor injuries due to a meteor shower that struck while on Mars.

“I knew I should have taken an umbrella,” stated Gahnz, ” But you can’t plan for every obstacle that Mother Nature throws at you. As a matter of fact, I don’t know if she has proper authorization on Mars anyway.”
