The Mountains of Arizona Are Behind the Riders





The riders face another day of heat and climbing as most left Flagstaff in the night after tackling the tough climbs and taking a quick nap.

The Media 2 team got a much needed shower and nap before heading out to chase down the race. I can't tell you how much more comfortable a bed was than the sidewalk from the night before. We all smell tolerable as an added benefit.

Here's a shot or two of the dreaded Yarnell climb and the riders stealing themselves prior to attempting it.

Our driver, Chuck, mounted a power inverter directly to the vehicle battery, so we should have fewer blown fuses and plenty of power to keep this media team moving and posting. More to come as we catch the riders as they course through Kayenta, AZ, Mexican Hat, UT, and on into CO!
