Day 11

The chase goes on. Omar Di Felice is quickly closing the gap between himself and second-place racer Keith Morical, while Abdullah nears the edge of Missouri on his way to Illinois – meaning there’s now a state-wide gap between him and the pursuers.

Day 11 - Trans Am Bike Race Colourful Colorado should be changed to Cracked Roads Colorado...they are seriously some of the worst I have ever ridden...with deep cracks every 5 or so meters, making road riding almost unbearable. I hate being negative but I just need to get this off my chest...I feel sorry for the locals, apart from the towns...as soon as you venture out onto the local roads it’s terrible. The scenery as always didn’t disappoint, a tough day in the saddle for many reasons...not long now and Hoosier Pass looms large...then back down off the high mountains! #tabr2019  #UltraCyclingLife  #BeMoreMike  #Overlanders  #DotWatchers #ultraendurancecycling #defyyourlimits #defylimits #cyclingadventures #snackingwithasenseofurgency #bikepacking #adventurebike #garmin1030 #ridelife #ridegiant #carryeverything @4iiiicom #poweredby4iiii #poweredtowiiiin #gcninspiration
