Matt texted Corinne with: "Had my first shower night in 3 days, met other riders on the trail, him and Scarecrow got to Elkford and ate an entire pizza in like 5 minutes... they saw 2 bear along the way, equipment is good, but sleeping quarters are cramped, and they are battling mosquitos and cold temperatures at night."
Teddy called today, saying pretty much the same ~ beautiful scenery, needs to get his bike checked out because of some noises in a few gears, and feeling this is very different for him than the hike. He has always been used to his whole life being in one backpack on his back, but this trip he has several bike bags, and needs to get into a routine about packing/unpacking for maximum efficiency. He said it has rained every day, so I am hoping they are headed into nicer weather soon.
Overall, they are doing great, averaging 30 - 40 miles daily. You can click HERE to see where they last checked in. Just so you understand, they began at the beginning of the red line, but our trackleader link did not kick in until the mark where the black line begins. Each night, as Scarecrow pushes the button on his SPOT DEVICE, it will update their location with coordinates.
As we receive pictures, we will upload them to share to all who are following. On behalf of Scarecrow, MattyRedrock, Corinne, and myself, thank you to everyone who is following, supporting, praying and cheering on our guys during their Ride on the Divide.
If anyone is interested to see the documentary that shows exactly what our guys are doing, check it out HERE. Enjoy!
Until next time,
Corinne & The Thruhiker's Wife
