Sorry, hit the wrong button.
Jan's time is terrific and best US rider ! Congrats, Jan.
No matter what weather, that riding time takes a tremendous amount of
training and preparation.
I'm impressed.
It would be nice to get a story telling how different physical and mental
obstacles were overcome while en route.
Should be a very fascinating read.
