The GDMBR is the world's longest off-pavement biking route. It's highlighted by long dirt roads and jeep trails that wind their way through forgotten passes of the Continental Divide. It travels through Canadian Provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, and the United States of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. By route's end a thru-rider will climb nearly 200,000 feet of vertical (equivalent to summiting Mount Everest from sea-level 7 times).
it's still only a month away and even now my nerves are getting a little jittery.
gear is breaking, better here than there i guess but still nerve racking
Thanks to YBS bikes for getting me set up with a new steel 29r frame in time for the race, it rides like nothing else i have been on.
Thank you also to the following:
Big Pig (Rich) Racing
The guys at Walnut Hill Performance Bikes

Hi Gina,
ReplyDeleteBeen following Ray's progress...tell him to just keep on pedaling! :-) Looks like he's got a rough day tomorrow though, with lots of climbing. Hope he can get rested tonight.
He's got so many people keeping him in his thoughts and prayers, and cheering him on. Please pass that on for Lee & I too.
Go Ray go!
Hang in there, girl. I know this has got to be tough for you too. :-)
With love & support,
Cathy
