Just a note in the middle of this Gila report about our "Support Crew".

Rob and Susan Love (Rob's parents) live in Silver City and 'hosted' our rowdy bunch at their house. The home-made dinners, eggs and oatmeal at 5:30am and comfy sleeping quarters made this race (for the 2nd year) an absolute vacation.

Until their race started on day 3, Rob and Jose handed up feed bags, shuttled between feeds, cleaned and prepped bikes making for a great start to the race.

And Suzanne (Jeremy's wife) came along this year and despite a broken left arm gave amazing, rejuvinating massages every day after the race!
