…the HooDoo 500 out of St. George Utah was held last weekend and Team JDRF had another 4 mixed tandem team entered … my rear motor was Nadine Howard a very strong young lady from Canada…
…we did very well … rode the course (519 miles) in 28 hrs. 38 minutes and were the second overall finishers… had over 30,000 ft of climb and handled the brutal headwinds without incident …the overall average speed on my tandem was 19.7 mph… we had a great time…
…check out the website at www.planetultra.com/hoodoo 500 for details and pictures if you are interested…
…getting ready for the Furnace Creek 508 the first weekend in October … that will be a challenge given that we will be doing it as a two tandem team and it is a different format… 8 stages instead of the relay format… has over 36,000 ft of climb… ouch…
See you out there…
