From Pagosa Springs into New Mexico


At this point, the course leaves the path it was on last year, and heads south into New Mexico. Ken and Jeremy checked into TS 15 in Pagosa Springs at 8:24 a.m. Last year, team riders checked into TS 15 at 11:10 - so they're still roughly 3 hours ahead of where they were last year. The team is now 884 miles into the race, and one full day, eighteen hours in.

The image above is the route from Pagosa Springs to Chama, NM. Honestly, it just seems cruel and unusual, doesn't it?

Thanks to everyone for reading, and please feel free to comment! If you have rider updates, let me know, either in the comments or via email.

Ode to carbon fiber!

Ken and Jeremy are now cashing in on those expensive new carbon fiber road rockets.

Enjoy the west! Looks like rain and crappy weather near the Mississippi in a few days.

This is Steve from ViaSat Carlsbad... in speaking with our IT folks, looks like we have a series of 'oops' that has taken down our live video link.

Nothing we can do until we get into a better clearing [poor satellite uplink signal around trees and stuff]

Lot of people asking about the race stats. I noticed on the GOOP that at sometime yesterday evening,...team ViaSat was really clicking!

Send me your questions and I'll try to answer.

Stay tough team !!

Thanks, Steve!

I've been out and about at my daughter's graduation. (Who knew graduating from elementary school would be such a to do???)

Let me get caught up on everything and I'll let you know. Thanks!
