Slide show of photos are located here : Photos All photos but one in the slide show were taken by a camera on the handle bar. Photos were taken every 6 minutes for the first 9 hours from the camera was turned on. The linked slide show are some 10% of the photos taken. When the camera is in route mode, the auto focus is turned off. So the focus is a little off in some pictures. Which reflects me on the Tour...

Moteling the divide Unlocked bike on Elkford main street overnight is probably the best solution. A stolen bike would be a legitimate reason to drop out and go home. Alternatively, stage an injury. But I was too much of a coward to make something sufficient. Simply dropping out was tempting but did not feel right. Soo many negative thoughts on the first day that I just could not shake. Riding at a slightly high pace and not eating enough. A little rain and some mud made me feel like being somewhere else, doing something totally different. Towards the end of the day I noticed that my GPS did not get any charge from the hub dynamo. Thought I had fixed that, but apparently not. Finally made it to Elkford as planned. I find it easy to adhere to the advice that confirm what I think I already know, personal favourites beforehand were: · “You can do that race on any bike.

Igår passerade jag pie town. Det blev ingen pie, men pizza mm på toaster house. Därefter genom värme och vind för att nå beaver head work station. Det är brandstation som ligger mitt i skogen. Vi blev bjudna på gatorade eftersom att deras läsk automat var trasig. Idag en hel del backar och värme. Stannade i pinos Altos. 3 läsk och 2 glassar senare tog jag mig till silver city. Har checkat in, ätit och bunkrar upp för imorgon.

Började i mörkret i morse. Fram på dagen kommer värmen och vinden. Idag har varit uteslutande på asfalt och inga backar. Har ändå fått sluta hårt för ca 120 miles. Börjar morgondagen i mörker också, då skall jag till pie town hade jag tänkt. En tråkig sak med mörker körning är att man ser inte så mycket av den fina omgivningen. Eddie, Brett och Bryan fortsätter mot pie town nu. Troligen Marc oxå om en stund.
