What makes some assume they are riding along three abreast?
Neil's girlfriend had commented earlier that he and JP had been riding together. I assume she's had some contact and some insight that SPOT doesn't show. That was prior to Josh joining them. Who knows now?  |

Looks like Josh has got about a 1 mile lead on the other 2, the race is on!
From the last few blue dot updates it certainly seems like Josh K. is out in front by himself. Still alot of road left! |

I show a cattle guard across the road at Antelope Wells. Are they really sprinting over the top of that?
I've seen the movie but never followed the race like this before. I am astounded by the magnificence of the riders, but also of the supporters and past riders who post to this blog. I do randonneuring, but this is like PBP began in the 1890's- dirt and gravel, camping along the road, no support. This has been incredible.
My hat is off to new TD rider Joe Fox from Parkville, MO, doing an great job out there.

Josh has already pulled off one of the most amazing rides of this Tour Divide. Underdog par excellence. From scratch to record breaker? Color me impressed.

The last 60 miles or so is a very gradual rise to AW. A steady grind all the way to the end. |

can't believe Josh has this much left in the tank... maybe Neil and JayP are giving him some glory before they reel him in?

Josh has made a break on the last of the dirt. Positions came in 1 minute apart. Josh is about 6 miles ahead.
Go JOSH!
