Finished up the 2009 Tour Divide last night at 8:45, or so... It was fantastic to have Anni, her mom, and several others as a welcoming party when we arrived.
What a ride, just exhausted. There will be so much more to come. So many stories and photos to share.
Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteWell done. Looked like one hell of a ride. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteYES YES YES....We had a blast following your progress....BRAVO...Whatz in store for a encore? :)
ReplyDeleteI am a better man, for knowing you and thus seeing that you were able to do this great challenge...
C
Encore... Perhaps I'll toe the line with you somewhere again.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Joe. What an accomplishment and what a year! In the span of three months you have packed in more cycling adventures and stories than most folks can in a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it'll take some time to decompress, process, and download all you have went through, but rest assured that I will be looking forward to anything you share about this in the future.
Enjoy your summer!
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThere's an old saying on the discussion forums, "pics or it didn't happen!" :)
Actually though I can't wait to see your right up. 1000 questions, 100 details... gear, tactics, food, water, shelter, expectations met, expectations broken, highs, lows... but I can't wait to see the pics either. The Petervary's and Kurt (or was it Chris) posted some great pics. Can't wait to see yours.
Congrats! Way to persevere and get it done! It was fun watching it all unfold via the web. I'm excited to hear some stories and see some pics.
ReplyDeleteJoe,
ReplyDeleteGreat job. That was amazing how you overcame the mechanical and still ramped up a great finish time!
Those guys at Salsa owe you a huge raise!
