Tour Divide is pretty much an amatuer race from Banff British Columbia to the Gulf of Mexico, about 2800 miles altogether WITH 200,000' of elevation gain through the Rockies. Heard about it through David Eaton, one of Dagmar's biking friends. He related the story of a man from Blue Springs, Missouri, Greg Goodman, who's doing the ride now targeting a 30 day completion. You carry all of your equipment, about 80 lbs, on your back. Greg is 60 years old! I believe the record is about 15 days.

Greg Goodman is on the 4th days of his ride, 430 miles from the starting point.

Went with the whole family to Jazz, a Louisiana Kitchen for Dagmar's 59th birthday celebration. We all had a good time, the food was great ( I liked the Porboy shrimp sandwich), live music, bloody marys for $3.50, and even taught Evly a little about pool! We gave Evly the camera and she took most of the pictures, good job girl!

Dagmar's mom is still recovering from surgery.
Dagmar's mom is still recovering from surgery. This picture was taken right after she had her last major fever bout from a intestinal bug she pick up afterwards. Now she seems to be on the mend pretty well. Hope no other nasty bugs find her now. That's Dagmar's brother Dirk in the picture as well. We visit every day. Yesterday she was moved from ICU into a regular room again. She'll have even more visitors now, hope she is up to it.
