I hope everyone is watching Sara Dallman's amazing finish! She just pulled an all-nighter and has passed the 3 she caught a day or so ago. Incredible riding!
I was instrumental in teaching her that technique as she passed me right before Pie Town last year! |

I will be coming from Florida to meet a TD racer (Michael Mead) and wondering what the closest city to fly into is with a major airport? Can anyone help?  |

Airports for Antelope Wells are El Paso, Tucson, or Phoenix.

Any updates on the Silver City re-route? I see that Rob Orr is taking the original route but Sara Dallman took the reroute. Is it optional now?

I am now totally confused on the second reroute....first I heard that there was flooding and people were getting through and the original route might soon be opening up and that you can go either way. Now the word on the street is that the second reroute is closed and you are supposed to go the original way......? I am also assuming many riders won't get ANY of this info......

Looks like Scott Thigpen went the re-route, but some others went the original way. I guess they both end up in the same place!

Time for me to bail out for this year, I have photos I will publish. Thanks to everybody who stopped by and thanks for the beer sponsors. Next week is the Breckenridge 100 for those looking for a local spin. http://www.warriorscycling.com/races/breckenridge-100/ We are on the third loop. Sort of surprised how much they charge, makes you think. |

Kevin Campagna has finished his ride for PTSD awareness! Shall we start him a PTDD fund?

Here is photographic proof of the finish. You figure out who is who and who was ahead. We had trouble getting them to hit their check in buttons. Jesse Carlsson was there to join in their arrival too. I furnished Cola, not beer. But, they soon had some.
Just read a first-hand account of the sprint finish for 3rd place on http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tour-divide-2013/page/8 Glad that they fought it out, not a cowardly truce. Congratulations to the Belgians Gunther Desmedt and Tim van den Daele who finished 19th and 20th in less than 21 days. Shows that besides world-class beers they have good dirt riders too (joke, cyclecross!!). I hope it's an inspiration for dutch riders, who haven't been on the TD start line yet. A bit of a shame for the country with the highest number of bicycles per capita. It seems that we are world-leaders on e-bikes too. |
