YEEEEE HAAAAA JAY! We are all so proud of you! Thanks for the amazing inspiration. If some of you out there don’t know, Jay P won the Great Divide Bike Race and broke the record! Look at my last GDR post below for all the pertinent links. I can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said all over the internet, so I’ll simply post Jay’s last 3 call in reports… I think that says it all!

Hello all, it’s 6:40. I’m in Silver City. It’s JP. And uh, I’m going to Antelope Wells as we speak. This is my last phone call. I just wanted to give a big thanks for everyone who’s been supporting me. Trace, I love you. Thanks again. Fitzgeralds Bicycles, thank you. Orbea, the bike flows like water. Crank Brothers for keeping me locked in. And uh, family and friends. We’ll see you all when I come home. And uh, it’s going to be an enjoyable 120 miles. Hope you all have a great day and uh, we’ll see you soon. Thanks again. The trail treated me well.

Hey hey hey, Daddy-Os! 72.7 miles left. Just crossed the Interstate here, what’s that? 10 (I-10). So that puts me in Separ. Last couple things of ice cream and gator aid, and I’m on my way. Let’s uh… let’s turn them winds off. I’m tired of that headwind in my face. So uh, things are going good now. I was a little choked up this morning. And hey, Jeff Boatman, I didn’t forget about you. YOUR BAGS RULE. Best way to tour. Thanks buddy. Carousel Design Works. And uh, everyone else, we’ll see you soon. Thanks all! Peace out.

(Loud sigh) Boy. JP here. Hey world, I arrived at Antelope Wells at 4:18 PM Saturday, with absolutely nobody here. There’s one gentleman here that’s let me in to get a bunch of cold pops, let me use the bathroom, gave me some information about a shuttle in the morning, try to get to Deming some time tomorrow. And uh, yeah, pretty hot out there, but the Great Divide has treated me well. I have no complaints. And uh, thank you to everybody that’s been involved. I hope everybody is doing well. And I will report on my times here soon. I will just be around thinking about things underneath a tree for the rest of the evening and day. Alright, thanks everybody, and thanks for getting this going. Uh, this was something else. Alright, yup, just sort of at a loss for words at this time, but catch me on the forum or something. Alright, thanks everybody, bye.
