I saw Glenn last week and he was looking really fit and amp'd about the ride. He rode the race last year on a tandem. The man truly is a machine, technically an awesome rider, fit as can be and is an awesome, level headed guy. Good luck to him and everyone else riding this epic race. We'll see you at the finish line!
