I'm trying to keep the pressure off In the first groups maybe there's a bit more (different behaviour) can't hurt to start like this I heard the stories of last year
I just don't like to start off wet (Richmond peak) (Ovando, with Kathy Schoendoerfer) okay, you're tougher than me I want dry shoes [Kristen Tonsager] How are you doing today? Great, have been self entertaining with
music (camping before Fleecer Ridge) (bike check-up in Lima) (resupply after Togwotee Pass) (Nathan Mawkes) Good morning this is cycling Jornz from the
United States in Wyoming I've arrived in the Basin The infamous Basin is a piece of
lower land in between higher mountain ranges Heyhey That's not too bad this wind
[Nathan Mawkes] Yeah [Nathan] It's nice and cold It's perfect I did 3 hours till Pinedale And the motel? I'm gonna keep profiting from this wind (in Dutch) Things may change, Bredero said
Rain is coming, just behind me (Crappy sleeping place in Wamsutter) (Subway breakfast with Jacob Henson) (Brush Mountain Lodge!) (places where Tour Divide riders originate from) (Kremmling) Morning, this is the Colorado river behind me And I'm heading for the Boreas Pass Made it, this is absolutely stunning. The Boreas Pass, 3500 metres (altitude) and waiting for sunset (in Dutch) I'm climbing the last one of 3 major passes in Colorado at the moment The Indiana Pass, two days ago I did the Boreas Pass and yesterday the Marchall Pass They warned me that in New Mexico it will be even hotter than it was till now So will have to carry a lot of water, 5-6 litres And because the resupply points are fairly distanced, one has to pack food for 1.5-2 days as well Hence I'm already preparing a bit mentally
but Colorado was certainly a success (El Farolito restaurant in Il Rito with chef Dominic Trujillo) (sunset while cycling from Cuba to Grants) (Nathan Salle) (1st motel in 5 days!) (in Dutch) This is cycling through the desert As one can see, no possibility to hide in the shadow I'm really cooking I think I'm going for 'medium-rare' (refreshing in Separ) (together with Bennie Black, Zane De Decker and Mike Sagan) This is what we've worked for 800 metres to go Ohh it's gonna be a close one The peloton's gonna come too late for these 3 magnificent riders Hey sign (Nathan Salle) (Katie Dolan) (the aftermath at Jeffery Sharp's Bike Ranch in Hachita) (left to right: Jorne, Zane, Katie, Sacha, Remi, Marie, Bennie)
