Hi, all of you aztr riders and especially Sheila. Congrats to your individual performances!. I've been watching the dots move about places may not have the chance to ride myself as I'm from Austria. But enjoying your efforts is also a source of inspiration for my own bikepacking endeavours. Keep the spirit and way to go. Cheers to you all

Vienna area - Austria

I like to follow the AZT and the Tour divide here on these forums. and sometimes I do some bikepacking myself, but only for a few days in a row and only in summer so far.

Congratulations, James. There's nothing like having finished  a great adventure.

Thanks for keeping an eye on Nick.  Not certain how many people are still watching at this point.  Best to KC.  He should sleep well on his flight back across the pond!

I've been enthusiastically monitoring the riders throughout this event. Now that people with for me achievable performances are on their way to finish I'm still in awe how they manage to keep up such a powerful show for so long. Ride-eat-sleep. Fantastic. As maybe the oldest and the youngest are still on route Many cheers from Austria to them. All the best to Justin Simoni! I've just done some 200 Miles in my home region - had to do it to get the idea of a big bikepacking effort. (Due to saddle soreness the 480 km shrinked to 320 km and just 1 night out)

Me thinks Jefe is closing in to Kurt - rest+ss vs. unrest+gears? Anyway, thrilling.
Go, go , go -  all you Tour Divide racers

When you watch a terrific finish like this it's kind of sad that one has to be the 2nd.
Cheers to all TD-Racers - it's fantastic treat that keeps me regularly return to the monitor!!!

Been following their every move for the last 3 hours or so - they should have met N and S- so these cabins on the the satellite pic is Mt Brush or so Lodge. Would like to be there! Keep going riders - it's most insteresting to follow your tracks and motivates me to get out riding my Rocky Mountain Element even in the rain and mud, we currently enjoy around my place in Europe.

Thanks to the riders and thanks to all contributors - this is a great source of inspiration just reading about their feats and following their spot-tracks
There's a quite a number of Europeans in the race - awesome

Super, Max - what an epic ride! Congratulations from Central Europe

Having followed the entire race, having seen drama unfold and heroic feats performed I congratulate all the starters for their effort and the 4 300-Milers for their achievements.  It is hugely inspiring and one day I'll be riding the AZT myself - maybe not all, but some of it.
For now: CHAPEAU

I've been following your activities for some time and they are really inspiring.
First of all: Congrats to Lynda from Austria in Central Europe -it must have been a hell of a ride - really awesome.
Second: all still out on the course - keep your spirit and the best of luck
Third: I plan a mild copy (due to the available land) of your Trail Races in Austria: Weinviertel Trail Race (480 km) and although everything currently is in German language maybe you browse by and have a look. Start at my website www.mastertrails.at on which you find the relevant links.

Cheerio for the moment
MTB-ing is too much fun to miss a day
