Judged by the time stamps comming with the dots, the guys are splitting right now...

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

I think, he's waiting for his wife. Not more than 15 Miles from Del Norte. If he starts right now, he can hug her in less than 1 hour

Any idea, which kind of problem the leading group is dealing with at the moment?

Edit: Seems as if the Little Rock Creek is impassable...

The Dave B. tracker will make a lot of people cry again...

...like me.

Go Dave, wherever you may be now!

Maybe it's not the "correct" way of thinking, but wouldn't it be a thousand times worse, to die by beeing bored?

What about Bob Anderson. He's off - route east of Bigfork for hours now and seems to be running around a farmhouse or whatever 

Quote Justin Simoni June 9, 2011: "There are a TON of alternative routes because of snow, but I intend to tramp through as many as I can via snowshoes and pure, unadulterated will. And foolishness. I may be dead last, but one of the few that does the, "standard" route. We can all only collectively see what happens."

Good luck Justin!!!

But why does the tracker say, that he's going backwards to cuba right now? Something forgotten in the therapy-room?

Wow! look at David Horton. He missed the turn on Fording road and is really off course for one hour now.

I'm sitting in my kitchen in Germany and really like do shout at him. Kinda funny...

Hmmm...

Joel Martinez seems to be a little bit disorientated...

So, now that we're in an arm chair discussion forum... who's gonna win the SB crown?

Maybe it will be good, to keep an eye on Aiden Harding. First overall-winner on SSP?

Tomorrow (06/11/2011) I will get married to my companion and I got the O.K. for participating TD 2012 exactly one year later (06/10/2012).

Getting the race-permit before the marriage seems to be not the worst tactic

Bob, here in Germany some of the best and strongest riders come from the north; it's flat, I mean table top flat. Anyway, the wind is a great substitute for mountains, at least as far as training goes. I've never been to Florida so I can't say if there is always wind there.

Bob, are you going to give the TDR another try next year?

Phil

Although I'm living in North Germany, I really don't like the wind. You forgot to mention, that the wind most of the times brings rain with it

What I really like, are long and steady climbs around 5 to 7 percent. For me, they could last for hours. Seems, if the TD is full of those climbs, so I think this race will be a "must do" for me in one of the next years...
