New Record Set

Up before sunrise this morning. I'm going to get out and ride soon. Yesterday I didn't go out first thing but I did make the time for a ride. Right now I'm more focused on getting out each day rather than the distance or time. I want to get out there riding or running each day and build that habit of riding regularly.

Yesterday Ollie Whalley set a new record for the Tour Divide with a 16:02:46 time!

For most of the race Craig Stappler stuck with him, but then Craig had a mechanical issue with his pedal and fell behind. He got something worked out and made good time after that but then his spot just stopped. Either he turned it off or it stopped working. No telling if he is done or not, but the next two guys are racing toward the finish right now. Kurt Sandiforth and Garrett Peltonen. Way up north Cjell Money is riding up into the Flathead section in Canada. He might make Banff today, if he can pull in a long day. David Nice is still going up in Montana. The line of riders stretches across the route right now. People will still be rolling in to finish for the next week or longer.

Riders on the Tour Divide

I'd like to do the ride in 21 days or less. No idea yet if that's something I can manage or not!
