Good bye Canada roll on Wyoming

So everyone has started the tour divide and with diversions to the normal route due to snow and floods they are all doing well.  Aidan is storming along and doing really well.  Whilst I am writing this, it appears that Aidan has bivvied for the evening with a guy called Robert Gianni just alongside the trail at Henry’s Lake.  This means that with 6 days of riding Aidan has covered a Whopping 917 miles!  Amazing!  This is averaging 153 miles/day.  That is pretty much commuting from London-Wales everyday.

I haven’t really heard from Aidan to know how he is feeling or finding the trail but he seems to have the strategy of eating and sleeping well and he appears to have had no mechanical issues.  Currently he is in 5th place and the front runners have been napping for only about 4 hours/night.  There is a lot of speculation on the tour divide forum as to whether or not these riders can keep going with that game plan.  Aidan gets stronger as these rides go on, I think we are going to see him start closing the gap, how exciting! Tomorrow we should see him enter Wyoming so keep your fingers crossed and keep pushing him on, I will update you in a few days time or if I hear from him before then.
