Ultra cyclist and bicycle crash attorney Ben Dodge, will be racing in the 9th annual Race Across the West (RAW) beginning June 14th, 2016. For 9 years RAW has attracted ultra cyclists from around the globe to take on the finest and most challenging terrain the Western United States has to offer. The race begins in Oceanside, California and follows the first 928 miles of the Race Across America (RAAM) route, winding through four states and concluding in Durango, Colorado. RAW boasts an incredible, total accumulated elevation gain of 50,000+ feet.
Ben, hailing from Gilbert Arizona, is no stranger to endurance events. He is an Ironman Competitor of 8 times, a Navy Seal Kokoro camp graduate, and founder of Bike Accident Attorneys Racing Team. His solo attempt at this race will be his longest endurance event to date, with a cut off time of 92 consecutive hours. With little to no sleep he will race against seasoned pro cyclists from all over Europe and the USA. Last year only a small handful of cyclists actually completed the entirety of Race Across the West. It is one of the most challenging bicycle races in the world!
Ben Dodge, LOTOJA 2015
RAW takes place in the scorching heat of June and will test the athletes to the very core. Ben will race West to East from the sandy beaches of Oceanside, over the Sierra Mountains and into the sun baked Mojave and Sonoran deserts, eventually ending up on the Animas River nestled in the Rocky Mountain town of Durango.
Ben has been training for months now, routinely setting his alarm to wake up between 2:30am-3:30am in order to squeeze in his daily rides before work. Some of his training has taken him all over the State of Arizona. A few of his favorite rides include cycling from Gilbert AZ to Tucson AZ then continuing to ascend up to the Mt. Lemon Summit (175 miles); Congress AZ to Prescott AZ and back around (110 miles); Gilbert AZ to Globe AZ and back (135 miles), and of course what appears to be a Strava record of 10x up to the T.V. towers of South Mountain Regional Park in Phoenix AZ in a single ride (114 miles).
When asked why he’s competing in this year’s Race Across the West, Ben answered: “A few of my close friends and my wife understand why I’m doing this. But to most people, even other cyclists, I seem crazy. Maybe I am crazy – but to be honest, from my perspective it seems ‘crazy’ not to do it. I’m pumped for this. I can’t wait to toe the line with these cyclists”.
Ben is extremely excited to participate in Race Across the West this year. He hopes his efforts will bring more awareness to cycling safety and cycling advocacy, through his law firm Bike Accident Attorneys, PLC. He represents cyclists throughout Arizona and assists in cases throughout the entire United States.

THANK YOU! A Small Tribute to Those Who Have Made All of This Possible. Love you all.
There are so many who have helped me prepare for this epic journey. Many friends and family will be cheering for me from home and watching a blinking dot for 4 days. I wanted to thank everyone for their incredible support and encouragement. While it is impossible to name everyone, I’ll name a few of my “frequent flyer” types that always seem to be there.
Sonja
My forever friend. First and foremost I am eternally grateful to my wife (Sonja) who somehow puts up with me and my craziness. I have been told by lots of my friends I must not be easy to be married too due to my adventure seeking mentality – which ultimately leads to a bit of an eccentric and unpredictable lifestyle. Sonja gets me. She knows what drives me. She loves me in spite of my flaws and terrible ideas. She supports my dreams and allows me to pursue adventure. I definitely “married up” when I met her. Without her by my side this RAW attempt would never have been possible.
William
My son, William is one of my main driving forces. For those who know my little family they know how special he is and how difficult it is for us to even have children. His physical challenges drive me to be a better father, a better husband, and a better person. I strive to live a life where I can leave him a legacy to lean on when his life gets tough. I want him to know he can do hard things. I want him to see that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary tasks.
Anna Sparks – Cycling Coach
My Coach. Of course, I couldn’t have done this without Anna Sparks. My coach, my friend, my mentor. She believes in me, and has helped me reach new heights. She has challenged me and kicked my butt on more than one occasion! Her training, experience, and insights as a coach are beyond tremendous and have been extremely helpful and necessary. However, her friendship and support are priceless. Thank you champ. I’ll be taking you with me out there every pedal stroke. http://www.sparkssystems.net/
My awesome and selfless crew. Thank you for your sacrifices away from your family and employment to suffer along side me. The crew is really unbelievable. They will also lack sleep, work days on end without any real breaks, and of course have to deal with my sorry rear end. You guys inspire me. Thanks for your friendship and willingness to crew. Thanks Dave, Sonja, Bob, Joel, Rob, Anna, and Spencer! http://raceacrossthewest.org/race-roster.html
Some of the Team
My Teammates. Not sure how we really formed a cycling team almost 2 years ago now. But somehow we did and there are 65+ members on our team now. They have been a huge support showing up to do some seriously stupid long rides at all hours of the day and night. A few just show up at my house to lend a hand in what ever I am doing to get ready for a team function. They encourage me and drive me to be a better person and a better cyclist. I learn something new from each of them every time I am around them. Love the team. Love the friendships. You guys & gals rock! #BAAracing https://bikeaccidentat.wpenginepowered.com/official-team-page/
Dianna Kinsfather – Nutritionist
Diana Kinsfather. My A+ nutritionist. She provided some seriously important support and education along the way illuminating for me my dietary weaknesses and strengths. She has helped me fine tune a nutrition strategy that works, and works really well. Forever grateful for her time, effort and energy spent on my behalf. Love her feisty nature and her passion for what she does. If I had a question about a product or food she would be all over it with insane research and facts that I would never have cared to even look up. Love her dedication to her passion. Love her showing me all about the rice cakes… feed zone portables baby! Thank you Dianna! https://www.facebook.com/kinsfathernutrition/
Fabrice and Kevin – Cerulean
My recovery center – Cerulean. My introduction to Cerulean was through a teammate (Thanks Darric & Brandi!). I’ll never forget my tour of the facility they gave me almost 6 weeks ago. They showed me everything they had, all their cards on the table with every single high tech piece of equipment you can possibly imagine to help an athlete recover. I sampled the cryo chamber and to be honest I was a bit freaked out. -220 degree temperatures in your underwear is a bit scary no matter who you are. lol. I quickly became a fan. After discussing the wide variety of treatments (they call them modalities) you can get as an athlete over there and how beneficial they would be for me as a cyclist, the founder Fabrice, was struck with my desire to attempt this race (RAW). He emailed me the next day and we began working together to increase my preparation and fitness for this epic race. I have been blessed with the opportunity to visist Cerulean 3x a week. Each time I go I get to try the cryo chamber, the hyporbaric pod, Normatech recovery boots, IHT, and the ENG3 NanoVi treatments. I have also used the altitude room and have been tested 2x with their sick metabolic testing equipment to determine thresholds, VO2 max, and a billion other things. In short, Cerulean’s sponsorship of me as an athlete has proved to provide an added boost of confidence as well as physiological increases to recovery and fitness that are simply undeniable. Thank you Fabrice and the whole team at Cerulean! https://www.livecerulean.com/
ENG3 Corp
ENG3 Corp. and the NanoVi. This little gem helps reduce lactate stress in your muscles by 14% in just a 15 minute treatment! A favorite by athletes at Cerulean, the company learned about this race from Fabrice and offered to provide me with a unit to use at home before the race, during the race (best ever) at any resting point, and after the race. The cellular repair is amazing. As impressed as I am with this device and the effects of it, I am so impressed withe people behind it who were so kind and gracious to reach out to me and give me a boost for this race. Thank you Rowena and ENG3! You guys amaze me. http://eng3corp.com/
Paraic – Cyclologic
My Bike Fitting Experts at Cyclologic. Paraic and Barry are simply the best. Check out this article to learn more about their high tech fit studio. Beyond making every fine tuned adjustment for me for this journey, it is common for Paraic to check in on me at all hours of the night to see how the latest adjustments are holding up and if anything has changed. He knows his stuff inside and out and always adapts with my crazy suggestions or desires. Love this bike fit studio and the friendships gained from them. They have enriched my life and provided confidence and encouragement on top of their already excellent bike fitting services. Thanks guys at Cyclologic for going the extra mile! Plus it is always good to learn new slang in my own language… you guys crack me up something fierce. lol http://www.cyclologic.com/fit/
Larry – TWJ
My local bike shop Two Wheel Jones. Of course, where would I turn for help in ordering parts, tune ups, or even buying my bikes to begin with? TWJ Gilbert of course. Thanks Larry and the crew at TWJ Gilbert for the super sweet Focus bikes and excellent mechanic skills on my bikes. Super sweet adaptions to the bikes and some custom gearing. Love our friendship and the race ready prep provided. Will be epic and likely “mechanical problem” free due to your help. http://twowheeljones.com/

“Crazy” is absolutely the word that comes to my mind when I think about the next few months. I have a 175 mile ride planned in prep of RAW (Race Across the West) that will take me to a whole new kind of wierd. This will be from Gilbert AZ to Tucson AZ, up to the peak of Mt. Lemon and back down to the bottom of Lemon. Drive back to Gilbert.
