Ego is the big point here isnt it.
Looks like a handful have passed those stopped at the lodge and continued on....
I'd disagree, the documentary story is wading through waist deep snow in pursuit. Not quitting because you cant win.
Ultra endurance racing is more than winning, it's about enjoying the ride and finishing.

I think the more competitive riders with more ego realised they'd blown their chance at a good finish, so they're drinking beer at brush mountain lodge. Can't blame them, it's the nicest place on the entire route.
It also makes a good story for the documentary.
