21-year-old Kevin Montgomery was the youngest rider in this year's GDR. It was the plucky pedaler's first multi-day ride and he said, "I'm young enough that I can keep coming back for a few years if I decide I want to chase the record." After dropping out of the race in Wyoming (an East Coast vegan, his blog entry described his struggles with small-town food and said he felt like he was in "high-fructose hell"), he is already making plans to return for the 2007 race. © Copyright 1997-2009 Adventure Cycling Association.
