MOMAR veteren and my replacement as the Day 2 Course Designer, Brent Chan, has just sent me an update following Day 2′s 125km stage:

Helly Hansen [Kristenn Magnesson & Lisa Ludwig] girls were third today. Norm and Wendy won again but the win today was closer. Gary had a good crash but they pulled it together to finish 19th overall. Todd is riding strong and Gary has been having some moments but expects to pick things up soon. Food has been great and the volunteers are having a good time. The heat makes it a totally different race than last year. Jeremy [Grasby of the Riding Fool Hostel] is just about to go up and present his Day 3 course.

Gary will be calling as soon as the awards are done with a more detailed report. Check back soon!
