Timon already cresting out on Fooses this morning. He's put a serious gap on Kerkove. Nice pack of riders fueling & loading up in Buena Vista now. Alexis & Alexandera are in a close on for 3rd.
Adam, I concur. Definitely not fomo'ing this year, but it sure is fun following a bunch of friends.

Sara was unable to get the rental spot. She is heading up Tenmile Crest now. She's not moving real fast but she is moving.
Yep, I tried to connect her with a scratching racer with one of our trackers, but it didn't work out. I'll try again in Leadville. Or she could purchase one and activate it on her account (or one of ours). Looks like it may be time to dig out Neil's ITT dot. This is a fun one to watch. Lots of good names out there. |

 This years race is getting me thinking about getting back to CO... Would need a month of acclimation before though! Looks like it may be time to dig out Neil's ITT dot.
This is a fun one to watch. Lots of good names out there.
It'd be cool to see the record dots on the course of the current year being raced, or an option to select it. And leaderboard splits if possible. Like the MH dot on the TD. It'd be cool to have the KR dot on next years AZTR too. Just a thought. Back to dot watching.. I mean work... I mean, you know..  |

Trackleaders has been lowering productivity in offices around the world for years!
Reload the whole tracker and you'll get record dots.
Full on bluebird days here in the San Juans. Rare for this time of year.

Well I think the lowered office productivity is great. Been watching Dana crank. Said he was battling cramps day 1. The leader is really putting it on. Who is this guy from N. M.?? Impressive ride. Blue Bird days are great for all the riders out there. We had a wet year, last year for sure. Glad its drier for those on it now.

It looks like Timon is headed off route (hopefully a tracking error, but he's on a road. And the boss, Jefe, is now in second! Lots of strong riders out there, in the ladies race as well. Wondering if anyone is going to crack. Woo hoo, dot watching

Hey! Does anyone else see the large smoke area when you zoom in on trackleaders, just north of Marysville and south of Mt Shavano? Is it a controlled burn or an active forest fire?

Looks like Timon is back on track at this point but it didn’t look like a tracking error to me. Looked like he missed a turn, glad to see he caught it and corrected it especially with 3 horsemen charging after him. This race has been high excitement! |

Bummer, he's in Lake City now. If you're heading there somethings up. Hopefully nothing too major and he can get back out soon. |

Bummer indeed, he was trucking. He got all the way up to Jarosa mesa and then turned around. That's a lot of hard earned miles to make up for to get back on route - I'll be impressed if he does so. |

Has a single-speeder ever won the CTR outright?

I don't know, but on my attempt in 2016 there are a lot of places I would have been better off without a bike!! |

I think this might be a first SS winner and a first out of state winner. We'll need a fact check on that though... Either way helluva a ride Timon.
Go Go Go everyone else out there!

Definitely NOT the first SS winner... see Kevin Thomas 2011. I'm also pretty sure Jefe has won more than once SS, but could be mistaken.
What a great race so far! Impressed by this Timon guy, I love seeing new folks come in and crush it!

I see Jeff Kerkove is now officially marked a scratch, any news on what may have happened? He was having a great run at it.
