One note on the tracker: split times are from the start of the 'race' at 7am Friday.  Since the CLR is a stage race (see race site for more info), time spent at stage stops isn't counted toward overall time.  This isn't reflected on the tracker, though.

Most of the pack are on their way after a giant breakfast at the place.  With the stage race the start time is open ended, so myself, Chad and Jean Claude will be leaving a little later.

10 racers, 9 doing the stage version and one thru-rider (David Jones).  Everyone is carrying a SPOT.

Weather is a little on the chilly side, but beautiful -- blue bird.

I wish you all a safe journey, have fun!
