TD Race Updates

Listen to the latest call from this racer here!

Hello this is Jacob Johnsrud.  I lost my rear derailleur on the Lewis and Clark Trail just north of Grant.   Um, converted it into a one speed, but pretty much all the mud took the chain off and the chain tore the derailleur right off.  It stripped it. Um, but I limped it until I just found a ride and I'm in Dillon waiting for parts for the most part.  So that's all I have right now. But it is muddy and it is probably going to be even muddier tomorrow because of all the rain.  So good luck to all who pass.

Hello, it’s the Love Shack here. We’re here in Atlantic City, WY. Six o Six, its been a good day of riding, she’s running really well…Tracey and I are working out well together…seems to be moving pretty good and covering ground quickly. We just made this little café at 10 after 5 and they hooked us up with all the food we need to get across the basin. Um…but…we have an awesome tailwind by the way and it looks like it is blowing in sunny skies so, uh, looking forward to the evening. And uh, we’ll talk to you soon. Thanks.

Hi, this is John Nobile, I'm at Flag Ranch, I guess it's around 4 o' clock on Sunday. I think Jill's probably about a half hour behind me. Probably gonna go another forty today, but Jill's gonna go on, and I'm probably gonna pull the plug tomorrow morning and ride down to Jackson and get a flight out of here and save my vacation time, since I'm certainly not going to set any records this year.

So, anyway, we're having a good ride. Flag Ranch Road was fine- there was nothing too hard about any of the trails today, and I guess Jill will update you later.

Right, bye.

Hi it’s Erik Lobeck calling in from Pinedale.  I survived Union Pass; barely I was fortunate enough to find a cabin up there to spend the night in with a wood stove.  It was pounding rain and icy cold wet muck so I pretty much spent 5 hours today peddling thru wet muck then a rancher decided to drive his cattle up the trail in the wet muck so that made for really slow going this morning pretty much 3 miles an hour for a long time and then I have been battling head winds. So today was really tough. The ligament behind my right knee has been giving me some agony we will have to see I’ve been toughing that out for 2 days. But I am going to ride a little bit more and if it doesn’t get any better I just might take a lesser mileage day and try to bring it back to life.  So the wet mucky weather has been the negative highlight of the day it really would be nice if that would go away. I hope the winds are going to be in my favor in terms of riding thru the basin. We’ll see when we attack that.  I’ll call from the other side.  OK Bye
