With Teresa Garcia's 5am start this morning we now have three dots out on the trail.

I think there are some others starting in the next couple days, so we might as well get this race thread going.

Good luck out there everyone. May you have a grand adventure. See ya Sunday morning!

Just send them the URL for the 2014 CTR home page and then send them your "shared page" URL-

 Departing 4am from DRO on Sunday. I'm excited to meet friends both old and new on my way to Denver. Safe travels and happy trails to everyone tackling this year's race!

Kyle Quinn ITT looks to be taking the highway instead of Tarryall. So there is our 4th ITT'r scratched so far.

After a couple good days Matt Hubach seems to be staying at the Copper Conoco - is he bivying behind the gas station or something? Hope all is ok, Tenmile is hard, but I would have expected him to cover more ground today...

And Karlos is plugging along on the Sargents crest.

Unless there's a bunch of racers with no Spot it looks like this years field is the smallest in quite a few years.  Kind of jealous not to be out there right now but it's going to be nice to watch this one from my kitchen table.  Good luck all!

I wish that I could be out there with everyone. But seeing so many familiar names on Trackleaders makes it easier to at least get some vicarious pleasure. Mark sure is having a fast day, especially considering what a big year he's already had.

Somebody better tell Barry Ritchey the race has already started. He is currently sleeping up on the Gaspesie Peninsula  icon_biggrin

And JS appears to be bushwacking on Green Mtn!

Anyone know what happened to Matt Hubach?

Oh man just looked at the radar... News was saying flooding conditions with 1+ inches of rain in the burn area this afternoon. Could be a long detour if it gets muddy. Don't know whats worse - the heat or flooding rain.

Once again Karlos is stretching the ITT principles. Seems more and more like a tour - 'beer handouts', really. And he's clearly with someone. And he's digging fire pits, so much for low impact camping...

Sorry, but I tried my damnedest to stick to the ITT rules (do. it. yourself.) and this guy is out there taking beer handouts and camping with a friend (which honestly sounds nice, but that is not an ITT.)

Man - Neil is almost going to make lunch, not dinner, at the Stagestop! I think I was just getting to the detour by this time...and he's already to HWY 77. Awesome.
I got in a ride down in Buff creek this morning, but just missed the racers come through. Tons of trees removed in Segment 3 - totally different feel to the trail through there now. Wish I'd had more time to get some pics of the racers. Looking forward to seeing some from the start.

Here are a few (not very good) pictures from the start -- including Chris Plesko's rigid single speed Smiley

Cool - thanks for posting some pics. That is one slick looking SS!

12 hours to get to Kenosha...wow.

Appears as if GB took a wrong turn at the Wellington Lake campground office onto 543 and is now climbing back up the road. Ouch! That is a nasty climb

Did Chris ride in the inaugural CTR? I know he has some impressive showings in the big races...can he pull in Neil who seems to be blazing away?

Party at the Stagestop! I'm sure Pat is hooking everyone up
