Epic Camp - Day Five

Got a little British Motorpacing in the middle of today's ride and it certainly left a mark! Scott's named Lord Steven the TGV and he lived up to his billing today!

Petro and I ran ~8.5K, pulled into the BK Lounge then I walk-jogged back to the motel. A just get it done run. Steve ran 20K to take back Yellow. The guy deserves it… Continue

I had a great bike split, and I especially made good time in that strong headwind the last 38 miles of the race. I love this helmet.… Continue
