Way to go, Roland and Ross. Yes, Craig and Denis took the shortcuts and seem to be resting up in Elkford for the final push tomorrow. Dunno if there are weather issues or if they're just dead tired. Denis ran a monster race yesterday and caught up with Craig. Kudos to both of them, it's gonna be a photo finish tomorrow. And Congrats to Caroline. All of you guys are superhuman  thumbsup.

Hello all. I'm new to this forum (and to the TD), and I've been lurking about these few days watching the race. First off, a round of praise for everybody involved with Tour Divide, this is really spectacular stuff and it's certainly no mean feat organising it all. So thanks Matt, Joe, the blue dot guys (sorry, I don't know your names) and everybody else involved with this. Great job! Secondly, an enormous round of applause to the riders. I honestly don't know how they can do what they do. Watching the race unfold, besides being enormously entertaining, has taught me a thing or two on human endurance and it has provided me with a treasure trove of information on the Rockies as a whole. So much so that it has me itching to do the TD as well one day, except I'm not sure I can muster up the sheer guts you guys have.
And last but not least, I'd like to draw your attention to the race that seems to be on now between the two Nobos Craig Dolwin and my friend Denis Chazelle: Denis has whittled down Craig's lead to roundabout 50 miles and is going strong. This is as spectacular as it gets! Allez, Denis!
