I caught a few of the riders yesterday as they were making their way from Jake's Corner and up the nice steep hill to Payson.
Riley Barclay aka Worldklunker was looking great and in good spirits. He did mention that the first 300 miles were a bit of a beating and he seems to have picked up some more speed.
John Schilling was a bit further back, but he was looking good as well. He mentioned he was excited about hotel and shower in Payson for the night. Can't blame him.
Sarah Jansen was walking with her bike due to her mechanical. My understanding was that bike parts would arrive today in Payson. She was in a good mood all considered.
