Looks like Doug, who was going in the opposite direction has scratched also? Wonder if there will be a live stream of the winner's Yorktown arrival as there was last year.

Read somewhere (FB?) that Doug was never going to do the whole thing. His plan was to ride for a couple of weeks and then head back to work (Chicago IIRC).

Ah, fair enough.

He's scratched, exhaustion.
Edit - see that's already been posted

Oh that's a shame. Still; sounds like lessons learnt

Maybe not, he did same on IPWR!

Lukas is up and moving (tracker last moved 6 minutes ago). I guess hippy won't be far behind him given they both stayed at the same place last night although Lukas got there an hour and a bit before hippy.

1000 miles so 5 more days for him?

hippy slept through his alarm, but that means he's had a good rest.

Looks like it's going to be a new record! :)

Interesting thing hippy said about taking a warmer bivvy so as to be less dependent on hotels.. hotel beds are nice but having to haul ass to get to the next town on time takes a toll.

Evan 42 miles from the finish, so he should be done sometime around 10.45pm (UK time). A nice daylight finish.

Anyone know of a live feed of the finish? Tried to check the FB group but lack of chronological posts means that's impossible.

There will be one on the informal group. Hold tight.

I think sally lester will put it up.

last update 3 minutes ago: 5.4 miles to go

WINNER! Awesome job Evan! New record! :)

Well done Evan

Bravo Evan great ride. Hope you don't have rabies

Oi... Get pedalling... Second place is still up for grabs!!!

Immense effort; excellent work by Evan.

chapeau Evan.

and get a move on hippy!

Ha! I can't even gold onto 14th or whatever the fuck I was.

If you can dream it.....you can do it! :)

In the words of Mickey Goldmill to Rocky....."What's can't?...There ain't no can't"
Keep on trucking!!!!

You are in 14th place at the moment (and your daily average has increased, it seems).

Go hippy!

You are in 14th place at the moment

And @hippy chewing the heels of Michelangelo Pacifico at #13

Only 180 miles from a top 10 finish
