Great Divide Mountain Bike Route via Wamsutter instead of Rawlins?

[lelo14]

Hi all.  My mom, Candyce Deddens (age 68) is currently traveling the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route.
I'm following her on trackleaders.com.
I ordered my own copies of the route maps from Adventure Cycling to better follow her progress.
But the route on trackleaders is different from what is on the Adventure Cycling map.
I'm looking at map 3 and the route goes thru Rawlins, WY.
But on trackleaders it shows it going thru Wamsutter, WY.
I believe that I have the most current map (dated 2014).
And I have checked the addenda available on the Adventure Cycling website which says nothing about Wamsutter.

Does anyone know why there is a difference?
And how do I get route details for the Wamsutter route?

Thanks so much.
Laura

In 2015 the route for the Tour Divide race was changed because the roads south of Rawlins to Medicine Bow NF were often blocked by construction activities for gas& oil exploitation and developments of wind energy parks. Moreover, the TD organisers prefer to include more dirt roads instead of pavement. The classical ACA route is paved from mile 97 (Mineral X Rd) to mile 149 on Map 3A. So they decided to reroute over Wamsutter. Wamsutter has services for food and lodging.  The old and new route rejoin at the WY/CO state line near Slater.
