Any race reports from the Women's Kern Stage Race?

Hi Lorri! Next year the red lantern is mine! I was inspired by all of your team's participation and great attitudes. And to read that you stayed with your teammates that needed you is so cool! I was in awe of everyone who participated - that's a lot of racing in 3 days, and the conditions were fierce! I'll look for you next year! Carol

we chatted briefly, Carol. I commented on how your pink cast matched the new team torelli's. then again, maybe everyone commented on that.

next year I'll race it for real, so you can have the red lantern.....maybe.

good to meet you!

Hi Lorri! I remember talking with you now - I actually race for another team, the Torellis are the new team bike for my coach's team (Kalyra) - my girlfriend and I are both coached by Jill Gass, and we set up next to their team help us figure out how to survive the Kern! I get my cast off on Wednesday, then start hand therapy - hopefully will get a riding splint soon, so I can get back on the road! I'll look for you next year! - Carol.

The team bikes are Torelli?

The Kalyari team (formerly Firestone, I think) have blingy torelli's that are black with hot pink trim.

I know Jill!

Definite thread drift, but Jill along with Kalyra teammates Lisa and Sonia ( the 3 of them did a 4 woman RAAM in 2007 with another teammate) are getting ready to do the "24 Hour RAAM" along with pro cyclist Dotsie Bausch(Colavita) this June! It's a practice run for the 4 of them to prepare as a team (including their support crew preparing) for the 2009 RAAM! They may break a record! Tokie
