Howdy All!
Looks like the leader riders could be arriving in Ovando, MT by tomorrow, of all things. Please know I will attempt to the best of my ability to continue with the photo posting of the riders that come through but please also know.......we're talking almost 180 riders this year!!! Things were so much simpler when it was under 100. Let me know if there is anything I can do for yah'all and I'm sure you'll tire of reading my postings before this is all over!
Carry On!!
Angler; I will never tire of your photos of the racers. Gives a whole new perspective. It is so cool to see these guys having been through the elements and whatever else, and seeing their smiles. |

I love your pictures. You can tell the riders are in full race mode at that point. It really helps to put faces on the dots. |

Well, I believe Mr Hall has just gone thru Whitefish faster than anyone in TD history at 1:08:30.
Craig Stappler 2013 1:08:50
Mike Hall 2013 1:09:31
Kurt Refsnider 2011 1:11:36
Jefe Branham 2014 (super wet year) 1:11:50
Neil, Jay, and Seb 2015 1:12:17, 1:12:20, and 1:12:31
Off to the races. All positive thoughts directed to no fires in N.M. this year.

Happy to see the MH dot this morning.
JK and LW record flags are live. I just turned them on. Do a full refresh of your tracker map to get them to show.
I thought it interesting that when I switched them on, LW was ahead of JK.
New 20, 25 and 30 day flags are up as well -- hopefully they are good examples that track well. They should follow the Wamsutter route and such. 30 day is the ever popular Rice Burner team.
Looks like we have 10 singlespeeders (now a category). Seems to be a race between two Dad's -- Plesko and Kevin Jacobsen.
Thanks Scott. That gives a great perspective to how fast they are FLYING so far this year! On another note, is Guy Martin running tracking? Or running under a pseudonym? It would be great for us dot watchers to see his progress though I do understand he might be worried about stalkers re his semi celeb status. He is in the US and not the UK though. (Has the average American ever heard of him?) A simple yes or no answer would be enough for me if a cloak of secrecy is required.  |

Would love to post these on the board for David to see when he enters Ovando, MT. Would that be okay? |

thank you very much but someone needs to tell Mike Hall to slow the heck down. My biggest fear.....having the leaders arrive in record time long before anybody wakes up to take photos. :-) |

What is that rig on the bottom of the front fork on the bottom photo? I've not seen anything like that before. |

Lauf fork, Rob Colliver (ITT) is also using one I believe. Not that familiar with them myself either really.
