Andrew is flat out just awesome! What a summer he's having. Goooooooooo!!!!!!!

His MPH concerns me though. It sometimes just come down to simple math. 1.5MPH average doesn't look so good :( It does appear the northern 1/3 of the course is faster though? I dunno?

He's doing great. 9 peaks in the 1st 30 hours, only needs to do 5 in the last 30.

Agreed on the pace. Now he has something like 12-13K of ascent left and ~17K or so if descent in around 27 miles? Just eyeballing so don't get too critical of those numbers. I was thinking he probably had time for a short nap if he wanted.

He pretty much has the south side of La Plata down to a science.
