Stage 9 - time to pass out. Tomorrow brings another flat 135 miles, and we’ll cross into our 4th state.
LIOTR Stage 9 - today we flew. 175 miles in 8 hours. We were fortunate to have a little help from our friends at @skratchlabs, as well as a furious tailwind. It was a good day all around. (at Douglas, WY)
LIOTR just got a little more PRO! @jonrskratch and @bijuthechef from @skratchlabs joined us today to ride with us, make food & teach us about hydration and real food. We’re feeling awesome & riding fast today. Thanks guys! (at University of PRO)
Leave It On The Road
LIOTR Stage 8
Descending from the 18 mile climb to the Continental Divide. The first 60 miles today were all uphill. The next 110 were downhill, thankfully. Photo via our driver / all around caretaker @tdebner. For a slightly different view of LIOTR follow Tim and our photographer @jkendi
The Continental Divide
The wind up here sounds just like the ocean. Seven days ago I stood in the Pacific, listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. I spread my father’s ashes in the water, said goodbye to my wife and began riding. One week and nearly 1,100 miles later, we crossed the Continental Divide and put the mountains of the west behind us. And we will keep going until we hear the sound of the ocean again.
LIOTR Stage 8
We’ve had a few tough moments from the start, but at least we got this awesome shot. Put the bad stuff behind us and just keep pedaling.
Stage 8
Good morning!
Stage 7 / Week 1 of LIOTR is finished!
Only 17 stages to go. If 900+ miles and nearly 50k feet of climbing doesn’t deserve a victory salute, then I don’t know what does. Stay tuned for a recap of the week on the website, and hey… maybe even celebrate with us by donating or preordering a t-shirt at leaveitontheroad.com!
LIOTR Stage 7
Top of Teton Pass. Worth it.
