An incoming update from Mick Walsh via the WSBA mailing list:
Congratulations to Michael Emde, from Spokane who today won his 3rd Furnace Creek 508 endurance race, It is actually 509 miles. He also did it in a personal best time of 27hrs 28mins and 1 second!!
Runner up was Seattle rider Chris Ragsdale in a time of 29.10.43.and Robert Treadwell , also from Spokane, was in 4th place with 58 miles to go.
In the womens division, Karen Armstrong, from Spokane (must be something in the water over there?) was in 5th place after 382 miles.
I was on the fence about Sunday's ride. I was leaning heavily in favor of joining the Randonneurs' 100K Urban Populaire, but I woke up humming "take me home country roads," so I packed the car and headed for Flaming Geyser State Park instead.
