I can't recall see so many headed to Canada. Looks like 1 is already on Vancouver Island and 5 more en-route to there. And 4 in Eastern BC and a possible 5th on the way north too. WOW

Not to mention the gaggle head down through central Oregon

Since the riders have the option of skipping CP2, were all of the bonuses for Leg 2 and Leg 3 included in their rally packs?

Yes.

Vancouver Island - Perhaps West Coast of the Island, Tofino etc, but that seems pretty obvious;

Or less travelled and once the biggest floating city in the world, and entrance to two Provincial parks, Holberg?

Looks like Milepost 0 on Hwy 101 maybe in play in Canada ?

Maybe Cape Palmerston on Victoria ?

And a gaggle headed down to Alice’s Restaurant in the Bay Area ?

Yes.

Thanks, Iggy. That opens up a ton of questions I have aboot options and strategy that I'm just gonna sit back and watch as the participants answer.

Is anyone else having a problem with Day 4's "Tick Tock" report ??
I can open/download all the other reports expect Day 4. I've tried Firefox & Chromium but same problem.

I'm resisting (for now) on reading Day 5 until I can read Day 4. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yippee, The Powers That Be have fixed the link. I can now sit back, enjoy my morning coffee and catch up on Day 4 & Day 5-1. Thank you.

Hi all! Just got back into cell range here on the other side of the dateline! Wishing all the riders a safe ride!

Yes.

Not really red/blue pill then is it? I think they had to make the choice without all the info last time.

One of the riders activated the help beacon on US 97 just north of Klamath Falls, OR

I saw that, and on the refresh a minute ago, it's showing a green "Ok" ping.

And just know that actually about 20-25 minutes before the post, the RM was working through that red one to make sure it wasn't an issue. It was sorted.

Coats 220 and a NoMar bar. Great combo.

I am curious what the average age of the IBR riders is. To me that would be an interesting stat.

T - 17.5 hrs and the guy in Yuma is 18.5 hrs away (per google maps) (Edit - oops I was off a day - I think it was T - 41.5 hrs. when I posted this - and I'm in the same time zone - good thing I'm not doing this)

Spectating is a hoot. Amazing what these guys do,

I gotta think the leg 2 and 3 bonus info must be in the leg 2 packet or the riders thinking about skipping check-in #2 would be a big guess because they would not know what the leg 3 bonus point values are. Unless like in 1999 the "skip check point 2" challenge is an obvious 1st place gamble,
