Marko Baloh not only wrote a book about cycling, but he wrote down his life.

And I wouldn't be surprised if with words printed on paper, he wouldn't change someone else's life, too.

From the narration by Primoz Kalisnik.

After giving it a lot of thought and weighing of the quality of racing and competition, the financial input, and how many days of leave I still have, I made a decision somewhere in the June that after eight long years since the race organizer George Thomas has invited me to his race, I will finally attend Race Across Oregon RAO 2012. This is one of the most difficult qualifying races for RAAM in the United States, 840km long and with more than 12,000 climbing.

Kakor vsi že veste, sem v ponedeljek 25. junija 2012 poskušal izboljšati svetovni rekord v kronometru na 100 milj (160km 934m) na cesti. Svetovni rekord, ki spada pod okrilje svetovne ultra-kolesarske zveze (UMCA), je bil v rokah Američana Dana Mc Gheeja, postavljen je bil 6. marca 2011 na cestnem krogu v zvezni državi Arizona. Omenjeni rekord je znašal 3 ure 52 minut in 49 sekund, kar pomeni povprečno hitrost 41,475 km/h!
