According to our local Lotoja participants, conditions were good yesterday with mild temperatures and manageable winds. But there is never an easy Lotoja in light of the extreme distance and complicated logistics. This was Aaron's first full Lotoja after participating in the relay previously, I believe number six for Bruce, and several for Eric-I do not recall the exact number.
Bruce and Aaron report an epic day. They were able to get together in Afton, ride the final two legs, and finish together. They express gratitude to their wives Lori and Debbie for rock star level support. (Comment from Dawn--It is harder to support a modern Lotoja than it is to ride it).
It has been twenty years since Eric has lived in Rexburg, He was the top local talent in those days. Following a serious accident and years of a very difficult schedule of work and post-graduate education, Eric is back in serious training with 8000 miles year-to-date in 2019. He plans to come back to Lotoja even faster nest year. With his permission, I am sharing his Facebook post.
