tubed Posted June 25, 2015 Share Fascinated by this: Andrew Hunt has been bashing around the bushes on a regular basis for the past two weeks (both during the day and night), but he also had no issue with riding alone or into the night. He seems like another guy on his own mission and quite prepared to face the challenge day by day. Now he latches onto Andrew Barnes and for now seems to be matching Barnes for pace. It could get really interesting if Barnes finds someone who he is compatible with and Barnes gets that big engine going - I sense some late nights coming up watching this unfold and other than Stettyns we should be able to track them to the finish.

Dusty Posted June 26, 2015 Share dirt-rider got an early start this morning. Looks like he will be aiming to be at the start of the Ossewa Jeep track at first light. Big day for him. There is the potential to do a double stage or stage and a half on this section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtbee Posted June 26, 2015 Share Tim, Theo and Fjord charging to PA, Andrew heading into Willowmore. Technically could be a 6 hr gap when AB gets to Willowmore but he may need to rest for a long solo haul to PA. How long or far will Theo and Fjord go with Tim, he may take them into some dark places in the next 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheersIts at the coffee shop now and I am actually wearing bibshorts. apparently just some small hills on todays route for me. I evenlaughed when the doctor chucked his knife in my foot, ok that might have been the anesthetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo and Fjord are only a day behind tim and have been chargin well on their own. they actually got into rhodes quicker than tim did(thanks to his vuvu valley shenanigans) but then dropped quite a lot of time with a 14hour stop at brosterlea. they've been riding damn well since.Andrew hunt seems to have been riding quite quickly at times, probably got lost a lot. he has spent lots of time in support stations too, plenty of 13hour stops. the other factor - the wind doesn't seem too bad today, infact it's a slight tailwind.
