Hey how about the XC10 riders. They seem to be enjoying fantastic riding conditions and I wish them well. Maybe we used up all the bad riding days. When we crossed the Mohave it was 105 and 110 degree temp. The bloggers for XC10 were delighting in describing the mid 70's with a 20 mph tailwind. They even mentioned, but had the facts somewhat in error, that "a few years ago 5 riders were sent to the ER for dehydration. Actually it was last year and three of our guys had to be re hydrated in the ER. So continued good riding, may the wind stay at your back and above all, be safe!

  1. Its hard being here at home while the XC10 riders are out there enjoying the ride. All we can do is follow their blogs...

  3. Let's see if their Kharma holds. One of them is a priest! Maybe we should have prayed for tailwinds and cool temps...or not.
