even if I had the mental, physical and emotional fitness for the ride itself, the mechanical demands of fixing issues would snap rule me out of this race. I am such a clumsy clueless bif when it comes to that stuff

Same here

I’m close to jumping out a window putting basic stuff together like toys, cribs, etc.

Oddly enough I loved to play in my dad’s shop and use his tools when I was a kid.

SPC has bcome a mountain woman and aint about the heat. Her plan was to shift over to a really early schedule and bike at night now that the trails are ossum and they are down in elevation and the days are scorching. Unfortunately, 1 mile out of town she got a flat and will b busy for a while. Its a bummer cuz the convenience store closes at 10 and she will now not make it (no chocolate milk and ice cream which are ez calories). Good news is the bar is open till 12.

@Garick JF had chain issues that caused his major delay.

Fun race fact: the leader ED is so far ahead no one noticed he lost over 1/2 day in Montana with bike issues

in spain when it quite hot we'd usually ride from like 5 or 6 until 11ish and then take standard european 2-3 hour lunch and then resume for a few hours before calling it a day around 4-5 which gave us a few hours to explore the new town and get dinner

in the alps we didn't have that issue of heat so just rode a more regular schedule

Ouch! That doesn't look likely to be a town with much in the way of supplies either.
