Hal Russell, Tour Divide Race, Day 22, 4 Jul, Independence Day

Hal will ride by Broke Off Mountain

On this 4th of July, Independence Day, Hal and Jen are climbing to 10,000 and then is mostly down hill to 5,800 feet, then the last climb to 10,000 and it's pretty much all downhill from there.

Did they get to see any fireworks from up high?

We still don't know the status of Jake at the CO-NM border. He could have lost his GPS.

Hal Russell, Day 20, 1 July, Tour Divide Race

Time to grab some energy!

Hal zoomed over Mt. Ouray and is heading to Del Norte, CO.

He will be zooming up to 9,700 feet, down to 8,100, up to 9,900, down to 7,700, up to 11,400 (Cornwall Mountain), down to 8,500, up to 10,200, down to 8,7000, up to 9,100, down to 5,100, up to 10,000, and from the it is more or less downhill to the end. Sort of like a roller coaster ride.

About 7 Days to go and Hal is in there kicking it. Great going Hal!

199 miles to the New Mexico Border.
