PS - A little insider info...on about day 3 or 4, my "protective older brother" instincts kicked in (I have 3 younger sisters) and I wanted Mary to stop riding. But I resisted the urge, and she never gave up. And now she's just about ridden all the way to the F'ing border. Amazyng!
Congrats to all the riders!!! Having seen all the trail from the Great Basin in Wyoming to Grant's Pass in Colorado first hand (in the comfort of a GPS'ed Jeep), I'm in awe that any of you even got on the bike in the first place.
Amazing!
A video comment with some thoughts on Mary's drive and stamina, from a guy on the documentary film crew that followed her for 6 days.
