This morning, July 13, 2008 at approximately 3:37 a.m. Mary Collier of Siren Bikes completed the Tour Divide race. Mary completed the race in just under 30 days. She spent the last month riding from Banff Canada to Antelope Wells, New MExico. This womena is an inspiration. Only two woment have every completed, attempted, this even. Mary has demonstrated to all women that we can accomplish the same endurance goals as these crazy guys who show up again and again to do this race. Mary thanks for being the inspiration. When I think of the obstables, physicl and mental you must have gone through, the terrain you covered, the mountains you scaled on a bike loaded with gear, the lonely hours in the middle of nowhere - well, let's just say next time I'm feeling like crap or feeling whiney at a 24 hour race, I'll think of you and this amazing accomplishment and I'll buck up and keep pedaling!
MAry has a final gabcast on her blog, Siren Mary and it was awesome to hear the joy, emotion, and culture shock all in a short time! Way to go Mary!
