Thanks for the shout-out, Forest. We love you too, big guy.
We've been hypnotized by the dwindling dots for the past week and are super impressed you made it into the very exclusive club of finishers! To my way of thinking, in this race finishers = winners. As far as that goes, anybody who has the chutzpah to plow through a big chunk of it are winners too. Hell of an event.

How did your pack-a-bike work out?

Glad to see Sheila is still bulldozin the miles! We were worried when the trail looped back to Flag, but it sounds like she just needs a recharge. GO SHEILA, GO!

When Cjell went quiet, we thought he might be doing a Ghost Ship cruise behind Max, and were disapointed to hear about his problems, he was smokin up to that point! See ya next year Cjell?!

Glad to hear Josiah made it off of Lemmon. I offered him a ride to Oracle while he was flat on his back in the mens bathroom with severe intestinal issues. Sounds like several riders had the same problem, including Scott.

My hats off to all you lunatics! If I was less sane, I'd be jealous!

Sure hope Cjell rides out of the fog and appears near Utah soon!

Did Blake bail after making the rim? Hard to believe at this point in the race, but it looks like he's on the road & off course?

Go Forest! Shred it Shelia!

Thanks for the update! I have been following the topic you linked to, and thats what I THOUGHT i posted my query to. But being a clueless newie to the forum, I started another thread instead.

I'm really glad to hear that somebody has heard from him - in the race thread, the most definitive comment I saw was the one that said Max saw lights behind him on the highline, and Blake & Aaron were too far back to be them. Well, if he's still OK, still in the race, and in 2nd place, that woiuld be ace!

Anybody have any info on Cjell? Probably just a SPOT issue, but ...

PS: I'm in awe of all you lunatics. Really impressive stuff.

Hi boyz und gurlz. I've got a couple of shots of the starters for the AZ750. We saw 3 more riders on their way to the start after these shots were taken and this crew left.
Since I'm new to the forum, and I see attachments are limited to 1MB, I don't know the method for posting photos, so I've put them on Flickr and the link to them is here:

If somebody wants to put these in a more proper place, and let me know what the protocol is, I'm all ears.

I'm rooting for my homies Forest, Cjell, and Sheila. But I gotta say, Eszter is rotating her lower extremity in such a fashion that her metatarsal's are transmitting a high level of kinetic energy to the sacroiliac regions of most other riders!
