I would love to know where Steve actually is.

His dot just reappeared about where we last saw him.

Chris says " I ain't taking no chances. I'ma Keep rolling into the new dawn."

Did he post this somewhere public?

i noticed steve halligans spot has not updated in over 3hrs. hope he is still moving and ok.
chris now has a 80+mi. lead according to trackleaders.
pedal on Chris your`e almost finnished.

update,trackleaders updated shows steve has stopped for sleep

It seems Steve has not moved in 9.5 hours. That seems a little long. Also he seems to be outside so the spot tracker should show his current position, correct? Maybe an issue with the spot tracker itself!?

It's 5am and Steve Halligan is up and chasing down the easy trail from Grants to Pie Town! Gotta love this guy's drive. You never know what can happen - KEEP MOVING!  ---Tour Divide Forever

Yes, Steve, Ryan and Alexandera were all up for early starts in their fight for positions in their respective categories.

20/25/30 day green flags are up.  This year they are computed on average speed instead of taking representative historical data.

So... that means they never lag, but they also... never stop!  Not to sleep, eat, etc. 

Love these features, thank you! The windy layer is awesome, too!
A question: Is it possible to still see the tracks (in race flow) of those riders that have scratched? Was especially looking for Sofiane's track.

And I have a couple more ideas for additional layers in the race flow chart for the future:
1. It would be great to have a visual representation of the elevetion profile in the flow chart along the miles axis. That could give a much better idea of how elevation influences speed.
2. Also, it would be nice to blend in shading to represent sunset/sunrise/night along the miles-axis of the chart to get a better feeling how night times influence riding times.

These are just some ideas to satisfy my inner nerd. I love the functionality that is alread available in track leaders!

If I read the map correctly Chris is now facing increasing headwinds and light rain that will have subsided by the time Steve gets there. But given his spirit and lead I do think he will ride this home successfully.

Chris Seistrup hit the snooze button! Twice!

How do you know? Does he post this somewhere?

Yes, and apparently she continues the ride just not tracked and in race mode.

It seems most of the riders at Mountan Lodge now decide to move on after all. It apparently took some brave souls to (re-)break the ground.

I guess those front runners might be in it to win it, not just finish, so perhaps they don’t see the point in going on? Most of them have a TD finish or two already under their belts.

Each and every rider has their own story and objectives in this race and each one has to make his or her own tough decisions. So it is not for us to judge I suppose. I would think, though, that if you are into it for the win then this is the chance to demonstrate grit, perseverence and, at the least, an opportunity to use the race to prepare for these conditions in future races. I would also think (but I have no experience myself so am the last qualified to say this) that the mind plays a lot of tricks convincing yourself that you cannot win anymore once behind. But those thoughts exactly will rob the energy from you. I am sure the four in front now have pushed on despite being behind at times and faced with seemingly unsurmountable conditions. But experience and preparation also clearly shows. Looking at Josh Kato's Instagram, he has been riding in mountain winter conditions all winter.

The group from Brush Mountain Lodge has already covered a fair bit of ground. They seem to be moving at riding speed.
