This ride by Eszter is pretty awesome. She's ripping through Wyoming, and I bet she goes even faster in her home state. It's not inconceivable that she could take a solid week off the current women's record. Obviously it's the current record holder's decision, but the fan in me would have loved to see Jill Homer line up at the start line this year and defend her title. She may not have Eszter's horsepower, but she's a bulldog who I suspect would have done everything possible to defend it. The head-to-head would have cleared any debate about speed of course, etc. Ah well, maybe next year they'll both toe the line. Either way, it's cool to see the women stepping up the game so much (Kathleen and Tracey are also on a record breaking pace.)
