    I do the same thing. What I figured out this year, was their lat and long are visible when you click on their Spot. So now, I keep a google maps tab open, with the hotel as the destination, and I can copy and paste from the rider's location on the Spot map into the starting point, and voila...

    I have been following along here for years, and just had a light bulb come on last night, so I have a question: How much "What If" do these riders, especially the Big Dogs, go through during their pre time before the IBR? Example - They know that they will be leaving Dallas after 4 AM on July...

    Everybody just uses the lane markers as "suggestions" in Manhattan... That's where Spot shows the rider now, and progress has slowed significantly.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Patience and Fortitude (the lions in front of the library) or something else, must be a really big bonus to bring the rider into Manhattan! After that, google maps estimates almost 24 hours to get back to CP2. Adding in the rest time, that's not leaving much time...

    So there are some riders going west on I-68, and some heading north on I-79. I wonder if they're going to converge on the Front Lawn Giraffe in Bridgeport, West Virginia? https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/12719

    Hi Scott! :wave: From the Sunday Report - "The bonuses are divided into five categories, with a twist in the puzzle. There are “strings”. If a rider can create a string by visiting 3 bonuses in a row from the same category, the third bonus value is multiplied by two. Multiple, separate strings...

    Looks like some of those riders are heading down I-81. In Hagerstown MD, there's a giant crab on the roof of a restaurant, I wonder if that might be on the list? https://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/38969
