Rider Check-in

Rider check-in done
Pack your bags and get some sleep
Clouds get a head start

A pleasant afternoon in Louisville, Colorado, and a greeting from Last Chance chief John Lee Ellis as lighting systems and reflective gear was inspected. Drop bags are to be delivered at tomorrow morning's sign-in -- riders will have access to the bags up through the 3:00 am start.

Steve Whiteman's Moots is fresh from the shop and not yet fully rigged with his randon bags.

The rider progress page now shows the expected start list.

Riders should see temperatures in the 50's from the start through early morning as they attain the first control at Byers, and may encounter patch fog.

National Weather Service forecast for Atwood
:
Wednesday: A chance of thunderstorms before 10am, then a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 10am. Patchy fog between 10am and 4pm. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a high near 79. North wind 10 to 15 mph becoming east. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
