Re: Tour Divide 2016
Greg May is still riding. Probably problem sorted?
Tom Rowntree is only 1 day from finishing (149 miles left now) Does anyone know why he's not riding on single speed?

Re: Tour Divide 2016
Yayhes not out yet, bit tired and emotional is all, needs to sort his head and his bike out and then he'll be going again ;-)

May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: Tour Divide 2016

Re: Tour Divide 2016
for those who know Greg, about now is the time for a "dont be sub standard" text 

Re: Tour Divide 2016

I did send him a Dm yesterday. Mustn't have worked though!SteveM wrote:for those who know Greg, about now is the time for a "dont be sub standard" text
Glad he is back on track though

Re: Tour Divide 2016
Glad he's moving again. Any clue as to what is wrong / has been fixed?
Re: Tour Divide 2016
it was a bit of a rambling text to say the least, who knows what it was/is but hes moving again, hed been on the go for eighteen hours apparently so hardly surprising
and the durty bugger hasnt showered for six days

Jim Barrow and his son Tom are on their way. Three days down and still moving, can't be a bad thing.

Re: Tour Divide 2016
Keep up the good work Greg, sterling effort!!!
I still can't quite wrap my head around what would be involved in a trip in this size.
Many much kudos to all of you crazy kids!

Re: Tour Divide 2016
Anyone have a bike spec for Mike Hall? I just saw an article on STW about him and his bike is a sexy thing indeed.

Re: Tour Divide 2016
What's happened to Greg? He's in Albuquerque...
Re: Tour Divide 2016
Maybe getting repairs / parts before returning to route?
Re: Tour Divide 2016
Fingers crossed Greg has made it over to Fat Tyre in ABQ. My preferred bike shop in town there.

Re: Tour Divide 2016
Greg if you read this while waiting for repairs etc, stick at it, get it done! sub standard happens but how you ride it out is what you'll remember. Best of luck.
Re: Tour Divide 2016
Tom Rowntree has overtaken Jose Bermudez and sits in 8th position, 90 minutes ahead of him. Only 10-13 hours to finish. It's 11am now there so he should finish around midnight. Go, go!

Re: Tour Divide 2016
Seconded ... whatever's going on, take a while to settle your thoughts, find some cake and think about what crossing the line will be like and how it'll make you feel. Nothing is insurmountable if your heads in it ... but hey, if nowt's wrong and you're just buying a new tyre or summat, ignore meGreg if you read this while waiting for repairs etc, stick at it, get it done! sub standard happens but how you ride it out is what you'll remember. Best of luck.

Speaking to Steve yesterday and from Pauline's tweets it sounds like this is what's happening... 10h ago "Plan is sorted. Bike will get fixed. @greg_may_ will continue!"Richard G wrote:Maybe getting repairs / parts before returning to route?

Re: Tour Divide 2016
Excellent, would be such a shame not to finish after getting that far, and that fast.
Re: Tour Divide 2016
Looks like Greg is @ Two Wheel Drive....Mrs Scattamah is going to drive on over from Rio Rancho and see if he's still there to snap some pics.
