Summit Adventure Racing & Team Commie
Bar is a nationally ranked adventure racing team based in Deep Creek Lake, MD
in the epicenter of adventure sports.
The team competes in expedition and multi day adventure racing both in
the U.S. and internationally in Europe, and is composed of athletes from MD,
NY, CO, PA, MI, NC, SD, WA and France.
Team Commie Bar’s Cowboy Tough 2016 team is a four-person male from all
over the US: Mark Bolyard (NC), Darren
Steinbach (WA), Mike Flanery (SD) and Jon Gamm (CO).
Mark is an Adventure Racing veteran completing
four 72-hour events and with several USARA Nationals appearances. He is also an aspiring American Ninja Warrior
with multiple obstacle course races under his belt.
Mike is an outdoor enthusiast who took the AR
plunge last year at RAID Gaspésie and is back for more this year as part
of Team Commie Bar. Mike’s day job is
instructing South Dakota National Guard Blackhawk helicopter pilots.
Darren lives in his Sprinter van traveling around
the country in search of climbs, whitewater, and events to test his mental and
physical endurance. He is a strong runner, mountain biker, paddler, and
climber, and has a positive attitude when things start fall apart... which is
good, considering he likes to get lost too.
Jon is team
captain, and in addition to numerous Xterra and traditional long-distance
triathlons he has completed Equinox 48, Sea-to-Sea 72,
and RAID in France 90 hour ARs. He is
also team medic and morale officer with a ready supply of medicinal Grappa on
hand at all times. We are all new to
Cowboy Tough, and looking forward to sharing a fantastic experience in the
wilds of Wyoming!
