Cordillera - Volume 3 has arrived!  Thanks to all who put this together.  

Any word on the estimated release date of Cordillera volume 3? 

I think there is a slight gap growing between Ollie and Craig..

Adam Jensen has made up some ground today.  Go Missoula!

It looks like Kevin G has realized his mistake and is heading back over the pass.  Poor guy.

I just posted a Q&A with Justin Simoni on my blog. Justin has such a great attitude and it really shines through in this interview

Great read.  Justin, you are a beast.  Very inspiring.   

It's also time for a confession: I've never posted on a forum of any sort before; I've always felt they're a bit like a rather muddled conversation in a bar, but without the compensation of being able to drink beer at the same time.

Who says you can't drink beer at the same time?  Cheers.

One of the riders mentioned in Jon Billman's excellent piece didn't like the way he was portrayed.

Upon reread I couldn't find the controversy. Very strange.  Sorry to hear that. 

Here's the Cordillera Contest Winners

Sorry I don't know their BP.net handles.

1st place (early by only 13 minutes) = Cooper B
2nd place (over by 66 minutes) = Mike P
3rd place (early by 76 minutes) = Travis


Thanks to everyone for playing.

Eric

Thanks Eric.  I am really looking forward to some rest and getting back to my family after my 16 day absence.  

Great job racers.  Thanks for the inspiration.  

Cooper

Did Kurt sleep last night?

I also received Volume Two in the mail today.  Just poured a cold IPA and sitting down to enjoy.  Thanks Eric. 

I can't see any tactical advantages to turning one's Spot off at this point... unless you are dropping weight in the form of batteries
