June Bug Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 You beat me to it! This is such exciting news and I'm simply still in awe. Big shout out to Chumba for sponsoring her, and to Patagonia for hosting her talk. She must have smelled the barn and put on the afterburners to crank out that distance overnight. Well done, well done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is indeed a fascinating article. Amazing that between the satellites, motorcycles, helicopters, airplanes, mountain top RF relays, and all the crazy production action over the course of a day, that they manage to make it seamless for the viewers.

Ridenfool Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Spot takes stealth stalking to a new level. Either Alexandera is holed up at a hacienda in the suburbs of Hachita having a much deserved siesta 😴, or, ... some ner-do-well nicked her bike at the border and have now stashed it there, unaware there is a tracker on it. 😲 Edit: Spot is now off. If the former, most likely, no worries. If the latter, look at 31°55'41.4"N 108°20'16.0"W for the bike.

ebflo Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 The Lanterne Rouge just finished. She apparently suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and started riding a bike in November. WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
