Congratulation to Tom!  thumbsup

4 days and 11 hours with a singlepeed bike. Unbelievable! Actually, has there been any breaks between the showers this year?

Ilan is a mystery wrapped in an enigma that may or may not be inside a sealed box.

I have no idea what he is at.

I have to laugh everytime I look at Ians track... Does he hide when people ride by him or has anyone actually spoken to him? Odd. :-)

Maybe he has stuck his Tracker on the roof of a local courier van.

OK Jenny is backtracking.

Now, a question that my wife raised last night...

"If she backtracks, takes the road, then backtracks the course to the river, THEN continues on the course, would you DQ her?"

I opted to say " Alans call. Personally, no. But it's a two day diversion"

"If she backtracks, takes the road, then backtracks the course to the river, THEN continues on the course, would you DQ her?"

I opted to say " Alans call. Personally, no. But it's a two day diversion"

on the website it says this:

"ROUTE DETAILS
 
ALTERNATE

One route alternate is available to avoid a potentially dangerous river crossing in Fisherfield. If you arrive at this crossing and feel that it is too dangerous to cross, you may back track to the road and go via the coast to Poolewe. This will be a significant time penalty. There is no limit on the depth of the river, and it is up to the individual. Make wise and safe choices for yourself, regardless whether ten people have crossed before you."

So I guess she will be ok. Assuming she backtracked from the right river. Smiley

Like you said Smiley

She's crossed and is tracking back to the river now. Really happy to see that.

Near final update.
We have only one ITT rider left on course John Fettis who is somewhere near the top of Torridon at the moment. Our other ITT rider diverted to the HT440 route, and is now backtracking.

We had some final scratches today, unfortunately including Jenny Graham.

Bummer about all the scratches! Looks like our American Scott McGill pulled the plug too.

Folks,

Just incase you don't know - riders started off this morning including our one and only Marshal Bird:

Conditions have been stunning of late - everything is dry and riders are hammering it.
