OWASSO, Okla. — An Owasso teen, Conner Krajicek, is missing the first of his senior year to compete in the Highway to Hell Ultracycle in Turkmenistan.
In January Krajicek’s parents signed up for the ultracycle. In may has mom had to pull out of the race and gave her spot to Conner. Conner says he’s been training on a Pelton and riding his bike across green country to prepare.
“I don’t think I’ve trained enough I’ll be honest. It’s going to be nice but it’ll be fun, a fun experience to tell people,” said Krajicek.
The race is 200 miles across Turkmenistan in just two days. It ends at the Gates of Hell, which is a burning natural gas field that’s been on fire since 1971 in Turkmenistan…
