Day 5 sees the single speed cyclist Vasileios Karageorgos the toughest man out there in my opinion) at 710 miles about half the distance covered by Kraig Pauli who is out front. This has to be the hardest way to do the mountains and all kudos to him. Our lanterne rouge Thomas Camero made a huge effort and has now travelled 223 miles a sterling effort at 80 years of age. We have had 3 more scratchings since yesterday bring the total to 9.
Kraig Pauli at 1365 miles is currently crossing the continental divide with an elevation at 9584 feet and will be heading towards Rawlings in Wyoming after this hill the day will be relative flat compared to previous days although they will still be at altitude making it tougher than normal. Ben Davies is 50 miles back and steaming along. Eric Tapp is a further 110 miles back and still keeping tabs on the front 2.
Just a short catch-up tonight will endeavour to do a big write up Sunday morning for you to read over coffee.
