Hi All,

We've finally got it done. The Cordillera Volume 4 - on the 2012 Tour Divide Race - is available for purchase from:

http://www.lulu.com/shop/christopher-r-bennett/the-cordillera-volume-4/paperback/product-20711257.html;jsessionid=4FD9605CA9BBB2FFC8909FE016364BCB



The Cordillera Volume 4 is about things that break– broken bodies, broken bikes and broken spirits. Between these covers are tales of people at their lowest, their most physically and emotionally depleted. But the Cordillera Volume 4 is also about fixing, about getting busy and racing south. You will be amazed and heartened by the true stories in this volume. You will laugh and possibly cry as athletes plumb the depths of their endurance and then live to share it with you.

We've some amazing stores and for rookies, the Cordillera's are an invaluable resource to get you ready for the race.

Many thanks to Eric Bruntjen, Scott Thigpen and Eddie Foster for all their efforts in getting this together, and to the 20 riders who contributed.

All the profit from sales goes towards the college education fund of Dave Blumenthal's daughter.

Excellent!  Ordering V4 for the collection.

Thanks Chris, Eric, Scott and Eddie for all the hard work that went into this endeavor.  Great cause and here's to the Blumenthal family.

Can't wait to read the stories and feel the heat!

Sadly... I missed this message completely until now. I would have contributed something.

Is there not going to be a digital version of V4? Please say yes, otherwise, I'll never read it.

I love the idea, the stories and the cause and would love to help but we have too many books and magazines around the house already.

Thanks...
