Six more riders are in position to finish the race today, including Brian Taylor, Rich Otten, Cat Morrison, Marshall Bird, Alex Platt, and David Goldberg. GO, guys and gal!
Of the 34 riders who started the race, 16 have been scratched, and two have finished but have apparently been disqualified for veering from the course (Joe Bagley and Stephan Garrett).
You guys are our heroes! Endurance, dedication, bravery, resistance to pain, determination to cross the finish line -- we are in TOTAL AWE! Rock 'n roll!
