Matthew Lee is IN
Matthew Lee hit the border in Antelope Wells, NM as the first finisher of the Tour Divide 2009 edition, some 2 hours ago, @ 9:45am MT. The time: 17 days 23 hours and 45 minutes!!! He rode straight through the night just get get this sucker over with. TRULY AMAZING!!!
Awesome ride in this year’s atrocious conditions. Matthew mentioned in his call-ins that out of the 18 days there were only 3 (!!!) that he didn’t get wet from rain, hail, sleet and snow. Add to that the longer and more arduous section in the Flathead valley of the Canadian Rockies and his new record gains more respect.

Po mnoha letech jsem se dostal k pocitaci abych zadal do Googlu Richad Nacin, no a objevilo se toto. Vidim, ze jsme se kazdy vydali trochu jinou cestou, ale byly doby, kdy jsme mneli hodne spolecneho.
Pokud budes mit chut napis.
