Hi, we are Tod Wilson and Andy Besselman, and together we are Team 680.

We are taking on the MR340 Race in a unique way...without any support from motorized vehicles.

We live in Jefferson City, Missouri and on July 4, 2025 we will be hitching up our canoe behind our bikes and towing it 193 miles to the start line of the MR340 at Kaw Point Park in Kansas City, Kansas. We will be taking the Katy Trail and Rock Island Trail as much as possible with a few short stretches of roads where the trails aren't connected.

On the morning of July 8 we will load our bikes into the canoe and begin paddling the 340 mile race course from Kansas City to St. Charles via the Missouri River. We will also be completing the race Unsupported without a dedicated ground crew to follow us down the river.

When we finish the race in St. Charles we will unload the bikes, hitch up the boat, and pedal 108 miles back to Jefferson City via the Katy Trail.

We have plenty of stops planned along the way, and are looking forward to sharing our story with the people we cross paths with.

We are doing this to raise money for the Katy Trail, the Rock Island Trail, and Missouri River Relief.

Please consider donating if you are able to support our journey and support the beautiful amenities that Missouri has to offer.
