Team Amici Veloci (and other TE'ers) do ALC 6

[Trek420]

OK, countdown time. Thought I'd post this info in its own spot.

Sunday Sunday Sunday monster tractor pull ....no ...... Sunday UK and I set of on ALC 6. We'll try to keep you posted but communication is a challenge on the 7 day ride.

For one thing no internet access in camp, for another while I plan to complete this my 3rd ride if you've ridden with me you know I'm not fast enough to complete each day and zip into town the extra miles to find a hot spot I plan to get in, get fed, get the tent up, showered, rest, get to sleep, get up and ride, repeat oh, and watch the talent show.

And I might not be able to charge my cell phone.

So I will make one, maybe two calls a day.

Otherwise the cell is off. I do a group voicemail thing and will try to call Knott, and or Spazzdog. And they can post how we're doing.

But you can send a message to us, to any rider or crew member from here:

Keep it clean folks because your message of encouragement, support gets printed out by our amazing crew and pretty much anyone can read it

You'll need our rider numbers; UK Eliphant is 4591, I'm rider 4223. I had a list going of the others on this board, maybe I can re-create it.

If any of you know other riders or crew who might like to hear from TE'ers you can post it here too. It really makes a difference to the riders and crew.

There will be a "webcast" from that link that goes live I think on Saturday, day 0 with pictures, podcast, maybe video. So watch for us. I'll probably end up on the cutting room floor but watch for us in Amici Veloci red and green on Day 1, and I plan to wear the colors on day 7 as well.

Here just for fun is a video of the route
