A STELLAR ride by Mike! Every year, riders do what few of us ever thought would be possible on this route, and every year, we say, wow, that'll be tough to top. And just a year or two later, someone comes and tops it. So cool. Congrats, Mike, and congrats to everyone who sets out to give the TD a try no matter their goals!

Would someone post the last four or five records? Or post a link with that information?

well done mike, i would not be fit to tie my shoes on the amount of rest MH has had, actually well done to all riders who have the guts to attempt this ride. on a slight side note i notice the finish mileage shows 2712 miles and the TD homepage says 2745 miles, is this a route change or measuring straight lines between spot tracker points?

^ I noticed that link has Bethany Dunne as the 2015 TDR Womens winner, I thought that was Lael? Or was she not included due to the route she took through Rawlins?

Of course the TD has a Wikipedia page. Way to go Mike, impressive as always.  Love that you left the smartphone at home in order to 'remove all potential distractions'. Good form. |

Think of a thought.
(something your shooting for that’s worthy or to do some good)
Now just Imagine.
FEEL THE GLORY?
OF accomplishing the task.
IF YOU CAN FEEL IT.
“YOU CAN DO IT”
NEVER Stop Dreaming.
Always Keep Believing!
You can.
If you think you can.
Never ‘EVER’ Give up!
