Kevin Kaiser is going again. He's my local brevet director, and we did a fleche together. A kind, soft-spoken and gentle man. Wish him tailwinds!
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

Former TE staff member Sandy Earl is competing in the solo women's division. We were her much success!!
TE staff member Edna VanGundy is crewing for George Thomas and Mick Walsh, who are doing RAW (Race across the West, the 1st 1000 miles of RAAM).

We will be watching Kevin Kaiser too. Our favorite LBS owner, Phil, is part of his support team. My husband talked to Kevin in the shop last week.
When I did my first metric at the Best Dam Ride in April, Kevin and the fast guys passed me like a freight train a few miles from the finish line. They were finishing the century and Kevin had done something like 250 miles the night before. Then he rode the 30 or so miles home to Augusta. I am not sure if he is human!
We will be keeping him in our prayers.

OH!!! I just realized that I know Phil too! We rode together for a while on the Augusta 300K this year. I completely forgot that he had mentioned supporting Kevin. What a nice man! Originally Posted by MommyBird

Time Stop
Had a blast at the Bloomington, Indiana time stop last night! It was slow when I was there, it was the last night for the stop, there were only 9 riders or teams left last night - I saw two of them
I got to see Team Fara - their rider was on a recumbent at that moment - though the team vehicles had several types of bikes ready. I also saw the final solo male to come through - he and his team are German. Apparently he only made the most recent time cut by 20 minutes - but he is hanging in there and is determined to finish even if he may not "officially" finish.
It was fun to be there, and learned more about how the race actually works. Several race officials came through while I was there by myself and I learned a lot listening to them.
And bestest yet I finally got to meet a fellow TE member
Mr Bloom was able to swing by - great to be able to put a face to a name!
