From Lael's FB: "A momentary truce. Scenes from Brush Mountain Lodge and Clark, Colorado. Josh Kato, Chris Seistrup, Steve Halligan and Nate Ginzton have all been successful in getting over the pass and descending into Clark and Steamboat Springs. Rain, snow and mud soon after have made the road impassable. It’s 16 miles from the lodge to the peak and there’s word the other side of the pass is worse. This group made plans to set out at 3 a.m. this morning in hopes of better conditions, but awoke to snow. Hours later, it’s still snowing. In Clark, Josh Kato told us about looking for shelter near the top of the pass and finding a cave. He quickly kept trudging on when we spotted a cougar inside. This is a Tour Divide for the books."

It looks like Alexandera and Nico are holed up in Wamsutter.

Guess we'll get a second Grand Depart from Brush Mtn once everything is perfectly dry and no precip and 70 degrees 😉

Sorry, I'm just joking, but I did my time like many others, slogging through 15 miles of that mud along the Bull river...yes, it sucks, chain falls off every 10 minutes, forks clog up, shoes weigh 20 pounds. But you cover ground.

Come on, someone go for it!!

Interesting.  Alexandera Houchin, on a singlespeed, is now within 83 miles of Lael and around 100 or so miles from the Women's overall record.  She is absolutely KILLING the women's singlespeed record.

I'm glad to see Chris Seistrup getting a little attention now.  He's been moving up steadily and doing awesome for a rookie.  Now he's in the lead.  We had a big winter here in Prescott, AZ last year and Chris was out riding and pushing in the snow regularly.  Now he gets the payoff.  He does not own a car.  He has his own business fixing computers that he does all on his bike in a fairly wide area and in all conditions.

Sunday about 1100. It is spitting snow here in the valley of Silverthorne and 35F. I'd like to go for a ride but  BangHead. These folks are some hard.
Thanks for all the info. and posts here I really enjoy following.

looks like they have turned back too

So a gravel grinder turned into the Iditabike, then turned into mud like the trenches of World War I (just the mud, not the dead bodies luckily)

What a mess, I can't remember one storm creating such an impasse.

Chris's video is great, classic TD grit right there.

Quite a turn of events with the weather this year.  I've been watching using the 'windy' api mentioned earlier.  It just went live on the main TD tracker.  Reload the sucker and look for the little flag button to toggle it on/off.

Here's a current shot of the rain/thunder layer, which shows ... snow.

You can drag the bottom slider to go into the future (forecast).

Can't believe how many people are still holed up at Brush Mtn (!).

The weather layer is fantastic!  Thanks so much for doing that.

I'm not there so obviously don't know first hand but got to wonder if there is a bit of group think in the decision making going on with some of these weary riders.

Oh yes. Group think has to be involved.

Here is an instagram pic from Chris Seistrup for you E. Lobeck. Ha.
