Jill Homer

Hii this is Jill Homer I’m calling from Butte, Montana. It is Wednesday night I believe. We’ve just got in after a pretty long day, a good day. We did about six passes and closer to 20, but it was actually a lot fun coming down I-15 into Butte at night, with all the lights after spending all day in the woods. Kind of a cool experience, it shows that you get all kinds of experience on the Divide. It’s not just bears trees. And John’s still with me, we’re planning on heading out tomorrow so..talk to ya later. Bye.

Hiii this is Jill Homer calling from Lincoln , Montana. John and I got into town about 5:00 pm, Tuesday. We just did a really short easy day today; basically a rest day, trying to gear up for a big push tomorrow so. But it went really well, feeling awesome I think im really getting into shape and feeling like I can maybe start pushing now. It’s been pretty mellow so far and im really having a lot of fun with this. The trail is gorgeous, I really had no idea how beautiful it would be out here but its been a lot of fun. So ya getting up early tomorrow, gonna do ..gonna do a real day tomorrow. So now we’re just enjoying the being in town early, getting good meals…hot tub. Maybe look at the internet to figure out what’s going on in this race. Its funny being in this race and having no idea what’s going on where anybody is, it be kinda fun to know, but it’s also kinda fun not to know. But ya ….talk to ya later bye!

Hi, this is Jill Homer, I'm calling from Seeley Lake.  We had an eventful day 4, but it was actually a lot of fun.  We had to bluff charge two bears because they wouldn't get off the trail.  One was a young grizzly and one was a black bear, that was pretty exciting.  And then just did some nice riding and headed up Richmond Peak at sunset which was amazing... so beautiful.  And then, the snow, which was kinda frightening.  But, in the end, you really can't have a good race without having to push your bike through the snow for just a little bit.  But, so, that was a fun day.  Yeah, just headed out tomorrow for day 5.  Looking forward to it, so...talk to you later, bye!

Hi, this is Jill Homer, calling from Elkford.  Uh, was going to stay in the campground but, uh, it started raining and I got a hotel.  Now there's some thunder, so I'm kinda glad I did that!  But, umm, had a good first day.  Just rode pretty easy, no problems.  But, I did see a bear.  I think it was a black bear, but it was mostly just a big black butt running off into the woods.  That was about the most exciting thing that happened.  But, had a good day, looking forward to heading back out tomorrow. It's been beautiful... so... yeah... talk to you later.  Bye!
