Nice to see Andy looking so happy! Looks like he and Alice have made it to Lincoln.

Dearest Moderator / Administrator:
I can no longer post photos it seems as my upload folder is too large? No more space? I don't know but I've only just begun and my photos have bounced back that last half hour! Any advice from anyone would be appreciated as I don't have a clue where I've gone wrong and I know I'm sure to piss a few folks out there that haven't seen their people yet.
Help?

Last one for the day and can I hear a collective "Whew"
Those that have sped in and out of Ovando including from the evening of June 16th:
Montana Miller of Colorado June 17th
Katie and Sam the Tandem Two from the evening of Jun 16th, taking a short breather before heading out and surprising all of us.
The next two photos are of riders whose names were not given to me with the photos from the night of Jun 16th. Sorry guys.
and lastly a look at a group of four venturing out into the cold towards Huckleberry Pass late this afternoon.
Thank you all.
Carry On!
Til tomorrow. and good night.

Scroll down to the leaderboard and click "Projections". Poof! You can also sort columns by clicking a column heading.
Thanks! That's pretty nice. But I still kinda stand by my suggestion. I think it makes sense to have it on the rider's page in that little table. For me, the only other option is going to be to print out a little lookup table with the daily average v. time-to-complete. I keep track with a spreadsheet, and I calculate "pace" a different way. (I'm probably going to change the calculation to this method.) I think it's really interesting to see the early pace changes (rapidly in the first few days), and then to see it settle in as the math becomes more and more rigid. And on a different note: All the talk of cold cold rain and rain-snow-mix and hypothermia has had me stressed out all day (with me sitting here in air conditioned comfort with hot, humid weather outside). Be careful! Be tough! Make good decisions! |

Great to see three Kiwi rookies all from the same home town (Alexandra) doing well in tough conditions. Geof, Rob Davidson & Scottie (Ken Scott) all chugging along. Keep it going lads!
Pretty proud of all three. Hopefully all safe and sound tonight. Scotty and Rob in motels in different towns, and Geof parked up somewhere "on side of road" with David Stowe by the looks. |

Maybe I will come visit you in a couple years when I can be gone from the kids for a few weeks?! I would be more than honoured to buy "ya'll" a beer for your efforts!
And I would be honoured to drink a beer with "ya'll". |

Thank you, Angler!! Great to see Michael Zachary and Max Morris (Max is wearing the pink unicorn helmet, lol)! before they raced onward. We so appreciate the updates, photos and sharing of awe (and jealousy) with the riders. You too are awesome!

We'll see you 'round the end of July. Altho if I'm working we may have to make that a cup of coffee. Thank you! |
