Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

for clarity's sake, the competition was not stopped 30 minutes after  
the first finisher. Any rider that was still on  course was allowed  
to finish that loop.  From the results, there's a 90 minute  time  
difference between first and last riders to cross the finish line.  
Riders that were on loop 6 rode to the finish and stopped. Riders  
that were on loop 5 rode to vetgate 5 and stopped.
