Some pics are up at https://www.bikinguru.com/Pictures.asp?eID=10562 (it may be a pre-release, windmills photos are missing and the interface is glitchy.) I got one of mine though: https://www.photocrazy.com/brandedpho...-2a55-0001.jpg

I remember camera check points. After the first climb way out on Dillion before the turn off and the finish. My times were 7:47 and 9:10 and 1:30 I think. But like you said there are only a few sets up loaded.

I found one of mine... (windmills) and tunavic sent me the link to this one:


Dang, that's huge. Well, that's good - you can make out the tiny logos specialized uses that way.

Lesper, you obviously passed me not too long before this - I think I went through at 9:19 but hit the first one at 7:26 or so.

OK I think I need some more eyes. I know I rode that ride but I can't seem to find the pics. So if anybody spots a Grey Cannondale Lefty Single Speed Mountain Bike, that's me. White jersey, black sleeves, white arm warmers on the first checkpoint. Probably smiling. Can you leave me a pm with the info.....Thanks, Jim

Unless you know the approximate time you were at the first camera, it's going to be a needle in a haystack...

I don't think they've uploaded all the pics yet, so there's that. Did they have finish line pics this year? I haven't seen one. The windmill pics also end at about 7:35 am, which can't be right.

I don't see you there either. I did find mine from both checkpoints. There is a guy on a MTB at 10:23:30, grey shirt, yellow helmet (I don't think it's you, the bike does not look like a single speed). Do you remember if you were ahead or behind him?

BTW, 101 miles in 7 hours on a MTB? That's a really impressive result.

P.S. There were more MTBs than you think. There's another (blue bike, red shirt) at 10:25:06 and another (black Specialized, white/red jersey) at 10:25:42. And I see a guy in a grey shirt on a single-speed at 10:21:23.

I saw a couple of my MB brethren out there. We were few and far between. I was faster than most up the hills because if I let my cadence get down I couldn't keep going. I never really stopped at the SAGS, just grab some water and Gels and go. Even got lost for a few miles when I missed a turn sign near the end, talking to some really pretty gal. Oops ! Thanks for helping Mr. Hamster. By the way I put 7000 miles on that bike training for this ride in the last year. The funny thing is I was going to ride my 86 Cannondale R600 but my Buddy only had a Mountain Bike so I brought mine. He cancelled last second. I rode the training bike. Wore me out all week. The lady at the finish line said I was the first MB thru. Small victory.
