Loving the excitement of dot-watching this year's race. Keeping me distracted from what's happening next week!

SImilar here in our house :)

I've been taking a break to occasionally panic mind you.

Would anyone be so kind as to give me a brief run-down as to where people are. I'm still suffering internet meltdown and although Greg's tweets are very informative, I must have more info

Stunning considering the weather differences for Phils round.

But, if we took the extra time away that the start section added in this year....very, very close.

They are in Scotland.

The fast people are currently completing the hike-a-bike after Lochinver at a similar pace to Tom last year.
Alans on the road after Kylesku and Barrington is a few hours behind.

The other mortal group is passing through Bealach Horn being chased by Rich and Shona

Any one in particular?




PLease don't ban me.

Thank you - ban averted

Looks like Stuart, Lee and Javi will be having a re-group at the Oykel Bridge Hotel very shortly...

Yep, would be nice to hear what's being discussed.

not very much as stuarts off again.

Philip didn't stop, so is now with Stuart again.

Yay, Matt has reached FAug. Maybe he should turn left along the glen.......

I should be mowing the lawn, but dot watching is far more important!

I did that before they started

What's happened to Nik Kinloch?

Maybe he has just stopped for a very long lunch.

He's not going anything like as quickly as I expected knowing about his sub 24hr Capital Trail and the pace he was doing on the Cairngorms Loop.

Nik's on the move again. Must have been sampling the excellent seafood at the Kylesku hotel.

Looks like the lead four are stocking up in Ullapool.

Ian Fitz is revisiting the Oykel Bridge Hotel.

Ian Barrington's just tweeted that he's in Pie Town! Which I think is ever so slightly off-route

Javi has lost ground on the road to Ullapool (SSing). Expect his pace to pick up through Fisherfield and Torridon.

Which I think is ever so slightly off-route

No, it goes right past the door.

i think he is meaning that pie towns on the tour divide not the lochinver pie shop :D

Yep, Pie Town New Mexico versus Pie Shop Lochinver (Lochinver Larder).

Correct TR & Tom, hence the smiley

It's a town famous for its pies. Therefore, pie town. It's very nice

I knew that all along, of course I did.


Say hello to Bryan, from Andy, if you would next time you two cross.
