I didn't follow 07 as closely, but It seems that with the three leg format, people may get more rest, letting some of the more mortal riders finish. I'm not saying this is easy! I am in awe at anyone that has the guts to even try, let alone finish. Just from the ride reports it seems like riders with a good plan of attack and no bad luck should be able to get done with finishing points. Also I imagine that there will be a few more riders that bow out after leg 2. Folks that were in it to win that now realize they may not finish. In the 2 Leg or single leg formats I bet some of those folks took some risks they may have regretted.I was surprised at how many riders went off to Florida. Just remember folks the Keys are a sucker bet every time. I have only been near Key West once. I started from Miami thinking hey looks like a 5 hour round trip. Got 25 miles away and realized that if I kept going it was a 2 hour trip back to the spot I was at. That was in a rental car, but I cant see doing it much faster on a bike, way too much LEO.Steve</blockquote>
