I was wondering abuot Nicole's knees. She struggled mightily at the end of our 600k from what I understand. I'm just so happy she made it. They really did great!

Emily on her bike
Last year, Robert (Team MahiMahi) was passed on Towne's Pass by Emily in the middle of the night (about 11:45). At the time he didn't know who she was. By gosh, when he looked, she was on a fixed gear bike hammering away! He passed her going down the other side towards Stovepipe Wells (yes, you can go faster with a regular road bike on most downhills, and, especially on THAT one -he went 50+ mph in one spot!!!). We then saw her from time to time as we headed to 29 Palms. She came in about 1/2 hour after we did. I talked to her briefly. Amazing gal- quite petite! Her bike was quite heavy which just added to my admiration of her skills and stamina. I believe her family was her SAG.
I wondered if she was doing it again, so thanks Fredwina for the update AND the pics. .
