Holy Hair !

What a nightmare getting the corn rows out! That took awhile. Free at last. Bugs and dirt are gone but, I am still dreaming that I am biking during the night to the finish.

Laundry time ! At least I didn't vomit like I did at the border from John and Peter's dirty socks.

Oh my hair!

Jill Siruchek working on the mop hairdo. Would you believe she pulled out a bug already. I better get to the hair spa.

Tour Divide 2015 . Mission Accomplished !

Hello everyone Thank you so much for following me. Lots to share and update on the blog. I will just need some time. The Gila National Forest tried to break me and Betsy Bike, but We made it.
I arrived at the finish line at 0424 this morning. Thank you to Hal, John, and Peter for waiting for me with your families at the finish line. A moment I won't forget.

Mistaken as a Rasta Stoner

Wow, I am tired. Adam and I are at our hotel waiting for a morning flight back to NY.

Mud. The start of the breakdown of bike

Only spent 6.00 at a convience store on way to El Paso airport. Cheapest stop in a month.

...No, I did not buy 3- 470 calorie cherry pies like I have been doing.

Thank you Dean. What a special moment for us. I love you.

Pie Town

Pushed like mad to get to Pie Town before Cafe closed. Missed it by 30 minutes. Broke down and cried over my bike. The lady at the cafe came out and told us of another place that is new up the street. The Gettin Place. She offered us free Pie . I am now eating Pie, small pizza, chicken pot pie, 2 cokes. Moving on soon.

Camp set up 9400 feet elevation. Best night out in tent.

I thought I was so hidden. Ha. Road is 6 feet to the left of bike . .. It was dark. What can I say.

Canero Pass

I was tired. Glad it was done. I would have kissed that sign but tons of cows around me. No need to get sick too.

New Mexico

I just made it to Milan NM truckstop. 120 miles today. I am not sure of sleeping plans tonight. I need to eat. I hope Pie Town tomorrow before cafe closes at 3 or 4.;

Cricket and I. She is touring Northbound with Kevin and Dave.

I hope I got your names right! I look forward to catching up with Cricket after the race. She in a skirt and blouse. I think she got it right touring!

LA Garita cafe. Off route half mile but worth 10 miles because I was out of fluid. I could not bring myself to filter water after seeing what the cows were doing in the stream....chlorine tablets and filter ...still couldn't do it.

Cuba

Hello all. Too emotional to say much. 77 miles of intense climbing yesterday. Some bike issues. Everything dirty dirty. Going to grants. Hotel finally. I love you all. Doing my best.

Oh Hail!

Just got caught in a terrible hail and rainstorm . soaked. At a Lodge changing clothes. May stay.

Bike is still dry under archway!

Gotta get going.

I have the Billy goat express on my tail and John/Peter. I don't want them to catch me. I have a 4000 ft climb over next 23 miles to get me to 11900 feet.

Del Norte Baby

Eating best pizza I have ever had at three barrel brewery in Del Norte. We are having a terrible hail/rain/ wind storm. I saw it coming about 5 miles out. I was pedaling as fast as I could. I then realized I stocked up on fluids at LA Garita. As my heart is pumping out of my chest to get to restaurant without soaked gear, I started dumping all of my fluid down the street. I had about 6 minutes to spare.
