Yup. And about 1 day behind the men's record, but with the advantage of knowing what target time to shoot for. I bet she has a plan to ramp things up at the end of the ride to try and get the overall.

If my math is correct, even if she doesn't sleep anymore she still can not overtake the 3 amigos.

If my math is correct and based on her average speed Lael is very close to record pace.

Using the leader board and a little math one can compair Laels ride with anyones, at least at the time splits.

The yellow Dot of LW has moved.

Kurt has been stopped for almost 6 hours now. Must be something wrong...

   Was hoping it was just a spot issue.

I wonder where Kurt and Matt are in this mix? 

And their off.

The class of 2016 is going to have some BIG SHOES to fill

What a great way for the Bodewes brother to spend a summer vacation. An amazing job being done by these two young MEN.

I wonder if Lael had 3 pieces of PIE?

  Now I'm going to start keeping my eye on Seb Dunne, he's getting close to being back on route after his 3 day mechanical. Go Sed!

I think this is an interesting detour by one of the racers

Perhaps Seb got a fork all sorted out and plans to rejoin the race at Del Norte with his wife Beth, she's only10 miles north of there this morning.

Right or Wrong, Lael is following Esters Record route. Ah

If you were compiling the ideal soundtrack for CTR, what songs would HAVE to be on it and why?  I'm constructing a playlist for my training (not sure I'll bring music with me tho on CTR). But for training, might be nice to have a little something to help keep me in the rhythm or to motivate.

its all about beats per minute for me.

Just a hunch, but thinkin JP should almost to the north rim, or still taking a marathon nap on the south rim.

  Started working on this loop last year, thought it was time to get back at it. It consist of most of the legally bike-able Ouachita Trail( I say that loosely because there will be lots of hike a bike), the Old Military Trail, the Boardstand Trail, most of the Womble Trail (an IMBA Epic) and some of the Indian Nation Trail, National Forest roads and some paved connectors.

Starts in Oklahoma at the OT trail Head in Talihina State Park.                                                                                                                                                      
 I have it  as "outgoing" and "return" so one can toggle between the 2 routes for clarification. There are several areas that I need to confirm and plan on doing so soon. If anyone has any input (especially those in Arkansas) please contact me.

How did you modify to get more clicks from the buckle. I'm at the very end and could sometimes use one more click.

Not sure about the PI- XProjects, but my PI- Enduros have another mounting hole for the buckle allowing for more clicks. (use loctite on the threads if moved)   I set mine up narrow spring/summer (thin socks) then wide fall/winter (thicker socks).
