Catching up on this morning's calls. Bill Peschka called in from near Swan River to point out a good restaurant for riders! Billy Rice called in Richmond Peak to say the snow is gone! And Dan Sweeney called in from Silver City. http://mtbcast.com/site2/category/td13/ |

Thanks for the prologue report Forest! Great pics. Looks like you're making some friends from around the world. So jealous. I'll be watching the blue dots as they head south. Or north, depending on which end you start at (yes C$ I know about the nobo's). Safety & Speed to all! |

Scott Thigpen called in from Banff with a “Race Eve” call. Joshua Weinfeld called in from Pie Town. This call breaks up but he had pie and is heading for Grants tomorrow. And Paul Attalla called in to say he’s OUT with an achilles injury. http://mtbcast.com/site2/category/td13/ |

Bummer Paul. I was watching your efforts closely. But likely a wise decision to pull out. One can risk a lifetime of achilles issues if one "toughs it out".(not worth it) Hard choice when will is there and fitness is there. I know this firsthand from last year. My achilles took 8 months to feel normal. Please, please come back for another attempt. I know firsthand what a letdown this can be.
