Paul calls in from Horca

Hello! This is Paul calling in from Horca, or Orca as the locals seem to call it; er Salida isn't "Saleeda" but SalIda" as in "saliva" and Del Norte isn't "Del NortA" just "Del Nort" - the "e" must be silent. Anyway up over Indiana Pass today which was quite a thrill really (11,910'). Rod, Seaford's very own "Mr. Cycles", I would like to enter my Marin Nail Trail 29er(?) in the world's highest mountain bike competition. I know that there's some other competition for that title at the moment but at least we may be equal first. Anyway "touch wood!", which is what I'm doing right now, it's doing me proud, but I did think that I may have to call you out to help me with punctures. I didn't need any help as such but I just got fed up with doing them as I had three two days ago. I know your repair service normally only goes as far as Lewes and Ringmer in Sussex in the UK but if you fancied a trip to the Rockies I was about to call. The tyre has subsequently held good, the tube that is, so you may not get your trip to the Rockies after all. What else? We're staying in a very nice camp site tonight near Horca. The ACA maps are wrong as there's no motel or other accommodation in Horca itself so we are about a mile down the road, and a very pleasant gent at the campsite found us a spot even though it was full and let us stay there, use the showers and use the laundry. So that will prep us us for a big day through to Abiquiu tomorrow. Then maybe down to the flatlands after that and then hopefully as long as we are resilient to the heat we'll make it to the finish in a few days after that. O.K. that's as far as we dare look and I'll try and ring shortly. Thanks to all the people who have sent messages that I haven't been able to acknowledge via the internet. I haven't had the chance to look at any computer since Pinedale I don't think. So thanks very much. It does help with the motivation. Read more »

Hi Blaine Nester calling in here Thursday night I guess from Silver City.  Weather was good other than I got caught in a horrendous downpour from Mimbres over to Silver City.  Got in really late, got a nice room in a motel.  Hopefully get an early start and head south, make it to the border fairly early in the day.  Everything is going good, I'm trying to get tried out and the bike is working good.  So will call in when I am done.

John Fettis calls in from the Beaverhead Work Center

Hi it's John Fettis at the Beaverhead Creek Work Centre

just ridden in 100 miles from Pie Town during today. had a good stay over at pie town, got there quite late on but luckily the lady in the Pioneer Cafe stayed open late and provided us with a light meal and then we had a good night's accomodation in the toaster house. So an early start up to Beaverhead Creek then heading up to Nimbrays(?!) now.

Again, the clouds are rolling in, might get a few spots of rain, but it's not looking too bad.

Bye for now.
