Enjoying Eszter Horanyi's call-ins in particular - pretty funny, starting with her pre-race Drunk Cyclist interview where she talks about turning her bike into a "fun hater".Mike Morrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-33533143719885425362012-06-14T18:40:20.359-06:002012-06-14T18:40:20.359-06:00Thanks Jill.

It was awesome to host Eszter, she's going to be The One to watch this year. She's tough and she's prepared and she's good at it. FYI-the weather started off nice, before raining sideways later in the day, followed by some snow.:) What's the Tour Divide without some adversity to start? <br />P.S - it feels like yesterday that you were here prepping for your big adventure.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150418063632737685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-51976253320578561982012-06-09T20:42:38.217-06:002012-06-09T20:42:38.217-06:00And to think not more than a generation ago women ...And to think not more than a generation ago women were banned from engaging in sporting events longer than 800m for fear their constitution would not bear such abuse. <br /><br />Thank the Almighty for these women who do these events. <br /><br />You rock!

I think I'm becoming a bit obsessed with it... haha. I'm thinking about racing it in 2013, but I'm not exactly a great rider yet, so we'll see. I'm so looking forward to tracking this year's race!Rachel Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-79568852889296080652012-06-06T08:28:59.519-06:002012-06-06T08:28:59.519-06:00Sarah Caylor has also won Xterra events (9th at 20...Sarah Caylor has also won Xterra events (9th at 2010 Xterra world's) and lots of 24 hour solos up in Canada.
