Your blog said that you flew out of Virginia today...Do you live in VA
or were you just visiting?

This ride is going to be truly epic. The current weather at Deadhorse
looks pretty darn cold to me. I can't imagine riding in below freezing
conditions day after day. And having to keep an eye out for other large
mammals that might think of you as an appetizer. I wish you a very safe
journey, and hope you have enough foul weather gear. Looking forward to
the write-up. I wonder how many trucks are going to pull over and see
if you are lost or need a lift! Somehow I think you'll be the talk of
the Dalton highway, unless the Swedish Bikini team drops by.

I made it to Deadhorse! In 8 days with minimal sleep. Exshausted,
delerious, dehydrated, hypothermic, and frostbiten. Will rest here
overnight as roads into town are driffted over. Plan to follow a truck
convoy out of town around noon tomorrow. Will do extensive trip report
when I'm back in civilization. I smell horrible 🙂

since I first saw Blast!.

I'm a eupher at UNT, but am resuming trombone lessons in the fall.

Just curious if anyone has heard anything? It only took him 8 days for
the first half. I hope all is well, and am looking forward to the epic
write up.

I'm back in Fairbanks! A little bit slower to get back. My body is
falling apart on me. My knees have some wicked clicking, my ankles feel
awful. My back held out OK. I've been hallucinating for a few days now,
from exhaustion I suppose. and a strange question, has anyone heard of
somebody having urine in their blood from distance riding?

as far as the trip, this one is worth it, awesome scenery, and warm
people along the cold trip. Anybody up for a 1000 mile endurance race
next year?....

I'll have a hell of a trip write up and about 500 photos to post when I
get back to the lower 48. Until then...

Awesome trip!

David Stone reported blood in urine, I think, after a century ride in
NYC.
