Only a few miles separating 1 & 2 in the women's race! They each slept around 4-5 hours, Meaghan in Fernie, and Ana just outside of town.

FYI:  There is a webcam in Eureka that I've watched numerous times over the years and it's right on Main St.  It pivots around every 15 seconds or so to give you different views of the area, but there's a good chance for dot-stalkers to become real stalkers for a few moments if you're so inclined.

Noah Bodewes - I wonder if he's a younger brother of Luke/Will Bodewes, who were both in their teens in 2015 and among the youngest ever to tackle the Tour.  Will had a remarkable top-10 finish.

Thanks for pointing that out, indeed it is. I found this article that mentions the family toured the route prior to the brothers racing TD. Noah was 13 then.

I believe Kyle Peterson is just now finishing as the 1st single speed. Also Adrian Stingaciu the only Fixed gear Ssp will get to New Mexico today. I wonder if Adrian's dot is yellow only because he had repeated tracker outages early on? If that's the case it'll all be legitimized when submits his gps track for those days.

Adrian is yellow for ITT, he started a day before the Grand Depart

From the Tour de France to hitchhiking to pickup spokes that were overnight delivered to the wrong lodge. Alex Howes apparently rebuilding his wheel again at Togwotee.
