Dang good thing I ordered an extra Cup! This dude deserves one!
Great Divide Race Results
Matthew Lee of North Carolina takes the cake - (sorry Gpickle!) - with 41 'hungas' as he calls em down south - I'd say he should have his own Cup O'Dirt!
Not only did he complete the 2480 mile Great Divide Race, but finished 2nd in a time of 15 days, 22 hours and 40 minutes! All that distance and he was a scant 22 minutes behind winner Jay Petervary! The equivilant of a SPRINT FINISH!!!!
The Great Divide Race is a solo, self-supported race from the Port of Rooseville Montana to Antelope Wells, New Mexico. You must follow the 85% dirt (mostly gravel, but a little singletrack for fun) route, restocking in towns along the way. Racers are required to phone in their locations from certain towns as they pass through. Racers are also given a 24 day limit in which to finish the cross country route through the mountains.
Matthew - It is an honor to be able to present you with a Cup O' Dirt - I'm sure I speak for all dirty Iowans - in giving you a hearty congratulations and a belated welcome to the Chase!
Speaking of that - I'll need each of your land address' - Cups don't travel well through cyber-space! email me at dmable@juno.com
Peace! Dave

hey, I'M happy being you, too, mr. pickle.
Hey, no, I happy I'm not either of you, but it might be easier than being me - and certainly easier than being this other dude.

I think a keg of dirt is in order for Matt Lee!
Amazing Job Matt. I watched the updates everyday and am friends with fellow GDR finisher Jon Billman.
