Nope but I'm thinking I need to find more spots for soft pedaling ... tailwinds are as rare as hens teeth, so maybe I need to get a tandemBut you knew all that anyway, eh, SD!
as I think I would enjoy the art of soft pedaling!

I have a query.
Now Kurt has the new record and is still going, when he has finished and they work out his average daily mileage, will the average needed to be hit every day be referred to as 'a Tarzan' or 'a Searvogal' do you think. It's not going to be called 'a Godwin' any longer.

Having read that Kurt's advantage is obvious. Alicia does all the faff so all he does is ride, eat and sleep.

Good interview and sounds like a person who very much knows what she wants and how to get it. Top lady.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
...although the former Mrs Searvogel might beg to differ!

There was a FB post about 6 months ago from the former Mrs Searvogel saying something like "Alicia Snyder AKA Homewrecker" or similar, in a post commenting on the achievement of his ride thus far. Kurt has now married Alicia. I suppose that they would have got to know each other, warts and all, in such a close and intense environment.

Well, you know what I mean.

"Behind every good man there is a good woman" is a rather old-fashioned phrase, but it seems to apply here.

Kurt posted towards the beginning of the challenge that he had met Alicia at some event or other and knew that she was the one that he needed by his side for the HAMR. I'll have a look and see if I can find it.

Here we go, from Kurts website;
Alicia Rachel Snyder - Crew Chief (The Whip/Conductor of the Pain Train).
Alicia and I met in June 2014. She was a last minute volunteer that saved my 2014 Team RAAM. During our two weeks together I realized that I had found a soul mate. A person that I was destine to do something great with. When the UMCA annouced they were going to certify the highest yearly mileage record we knew what that something was.
