Over 100 people there so who you following?

I will be keeping an eye out for Craig Stapler who rode over to Canmore from Calgary with Martin and myself last year and gave us sd cards with the new route on it. Really nice guy, and quick. Achilles injury from Trans-Portugal kept him out last year.
Esther Horanyi - will be a quick girly, possible record?
Kurt and Caroline on the tandem
Greg Levitsky. I met a guy called Greg from Silverthorne on the track to Breckenridge last year. He turned round and rode back to Breck with me and took me to a grocery shop and gave me some encouragement. Not certain same gut though as I never got his surname and don't know where this Greg is from?
Andrew Hazen - 67 years old and aiming for <25 days!

Don't know either of the British guys

Well Craig is joint leader with a Kiwi, Ollie. Craig's bike and kit is here:
