Hey this is Rick calling in from Lima.  Wow, a day without rain!  Great day to ride.  It started out kind of cool this morning, it was 28° leaving Wise River.  It didn't get up above 30 until about 9:00 and then it warmed up pretty good since then.  A lot different then the day before up there on Fleecer Ridge where it was a snow squall for a while.  But today, it was good except I left before breakfast and thinking I would get some food along the way.  But, there was nothing from Wise River to Wiemer and when I got to Grant there was nothing there.  I was just, I needed some food bad, so, I decided to cut over and come into Lima from a different direction from the planned route.  So, I'm disqualifying myself since I went off route and got to Lima a slightly different way.  So, but I'm going to keep plugging on and following the route from here on and calling in.  But that was the reason why had not taken the planned route into Lima.  But I'm still doing good and it was a long day for me, about 130 miles or so.  My knee is acting up a little bit, so, I'm icing it again but I should start off tomorrow morning and I plan to get breakfast before I leave tomorrow morning.  Talk to you later.

Listen to the latest call from this racer here!

Hey, Ya gotta' eat!

Glad you're ok. When I saw the map, it looked like you were going straight down Interstate 15 and I got worried, what with all the bears and rough terrain...and I knew you couldn't bike on the Interstate. Then I went back and zoomed in and saw you were on a side road and hadn't become bear fodder.

Better to head for food and survive another day than to try to stick to the route and bonk so bad you can't continue. You're still the man! We're all wishing we could join you but without all the suffering. : ) 130 miles!! There is no saddle I could sit in for that long. Have a good night's sleep and hope for more nice weather tomorrow.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Sounds like you learned your lesson!
Way to hang in there! I'm so proud of you!
