Jenn: I don't want to believe Mike Hall is gone

3/31/2017

We are just gutted to hear of Mike Hall’s tragic passing while racing the Indian Pacific Wheel Race this morning. The last thing I did before I closed my eyes last night was to check his dot on the Indian Pacific Wheel Race tracker. As all of the messages pouring in on social media are saying, he was a legend and an inspiration.

But tomorrow will be our first attempt at a 24-hour MTB race! That's right - the winner is the person who rides the most distance in 24-hours. Around a farm in the desert.

My fourth Inland Sea Race (now Al Adaid Desert Challenge) and I finally came away $800US richer (the cheque says $750 but I actually got $800) with a first place finish in the toughest race in the Arabian Gulf! And more importantly, smashed my previous time (2:31:30) by more than 35 minutes with a time of 1:53:45! The event was well-organized and gets better every year.
