Billy Rice rules. Apparently he rode the TDR trails to Salida to get his new bike, since he was on an MTB. Who needs an easy life?!

He's averaged 250 a day so far, so with the traditional end of ride all nighters, even quicker.

Mike could be finished before we're making breakfast tomorrow. At mile 4090, 100 or so to go.

Looks like Mike stopped for the night at the Sugar Tree Inn near Vesuvius. Still 250 miles to go by the look of the elevation plot.

I thought it was 4200ish but you're right Tom looks further on the plot. Mainly DH from there and must be able to smell sea air soon.

Yeah the event website states 4,233 miles and Mike's dot is now saying route mile 4,143 so should be less than 100 miles to go according to that.

20 minutes ago on Twitter Mike says he is leaving Ashland and hopes to finish at 1pm local time. Great ride.

It's 4.30am and I'm awake with toothache :( but just seen the tracker with Mike around 10k's to the finish
Suddenly the gap is over 200 miles to second place
What a superb performance and a benchmark that I think will stand the test of time. He's earned a beer

Sub 18 days is amazing stuff - ~250 miles per day pace. It was good to see Mike pushed by Jason as well, Mike was never really been able to relax until the last few hours I guess.

Surprised how little kit he's carrying
