UPDATE (June 30th, 09): The things are lighting up on the production of the Ride The Divide documentary. Currently, the movie is in the final two months of post-production. GREAT!!!
Yes, another week behind us and the Tour Divide is nearing its finish. At least, for its leader Matthew Lee who is rapidly closing on Silver City. He should close it out some time tomorrow night. The battle for the second spot is still going on between Kurt Refsnider and the “Loveshack” tandem of Jay and Tracey Petervarys. Chris Plesko isn’t far behind in the fourth place and provided he finishes at his current pace he will shatter single-speed records for both, the Great Divide (held by Kent Peterson from GDR ‘05) and the Tour Divide (by Jen Hopkins; TD’08) races. After these guys, there is a main “peleton” of 8 with almost 3 days behind led by Joe Meiser.
Rather than re-iterate what’s been already posted over at the Tour Divide website, let me just provide you with links where you can get the complete scoop on the race:
Welcome to my blog where I share outdoor adventures, travel experiences and random musings from home and faraway places alike... My current plans: 1. [Summer-Fall 2010] Vagabonding alongside the Silk Route: It’ll be me, my bike and wide-open spaces of Western China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan for 2-3 months... 2. [2011 or 2012] Motorbiking from Alaska to Patagonia: Just started thinking about it. Plan: Find a used thumper and hit back roads exploring this classic route all the way from the Deadhorse in Prudhoe Bay, U.S. to Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Plus, practice and improve my Spanish, too...
