Gary arrived in Tuba City at RAAM time 23:16 or 8:16 pm PDT. He is now taking a scheduled sleep break. Gary road a very respectable 264.9 miles since his last scheduled sleep break include the toughest climbs on the Race Across the West route - Yarnell Grade, The Twisties, Mingus Mountain. Great job!
After his rest, Gary will take off toward Kayenta, Az (yes, Arizona is a big state), a 72 mile leg. Gary will be riding a gradual climb up to 5,585 feet before a gradual descent to Kayenta. Again, this leg has only one turn and that is right at the time station. This is in the middle of nowhere USA. The highlight on the route sheet is "Windmill to the left".
Gary is now in the final third of the race. He has ridden 607.5 miles and has only 253 miles left split across five more time stations. Ride Gary Ride!
