Well, watching this race online is super addictive and interesting to watch the progress.  Mad props to those crazy enough to do it.  I am heading to the Junction Creek campground tomorrow for the weekend, and may see some finishers.  Need to give a shout out to my friend Dan (DH on the map) who we are picking up down there.  He left Sat at 6pm hoping to give himself enough time to make it there by this weekend (so we can drive him back Monday). I believe it is his first mtn bike race ever, and he is on a rigid SS, riding flat pedals, cause he is nuts (like everyone else who signs up for this thing).

I am amazed at how fast the leaders caught him (starting 36 hrs later), and slightly concerned that he seems to have gotten race fever since being caught.  He seemed to be pacing himself, even stopped for a shower in Buena Vista apparently, but has been on a roll since the race caught up.  Best of luck to everyone still out there putting the hurt on.
