2024 Results and live lap times

Let all cheer them on!

 

[LarryOz]

THe are neck and neck after the first lap!


Here are the overall 1st and 2nd place: This is supposed to be an individual TT (no drafting) - It sure looks like they are riding together doesn't it?

 

[LarryOz]

After 2 laps, they are right there together: only 5 secs apart

 

[LarryOz]

After 8 laps - the guys are ahead by only 5 m 30s

So if they ride as a group, is like 2hrs on 2hrs off, or do they ride together for 24hours?

 

[LarryOz]

Update after 14 laps: Guys have about 20 mins on the Gals!

They can do whatever they want - I suspect they are each trading off after each 18 mile lap - or maybe 2 laps at night so they might be able to sleep

 

[LarryOz]

288 mile mark - Men are about 25 mins ahead now. Now they have full daylight until the end

 

[LarryOz]

after 306 miles: women closing the gap a little:

 

[LarryOz]

342 miles - Men's lead about 24 mins

 

[LarryOz]

360 mile update - the men have pulled away by over 31 mins

 

[Robert Holler]

They are racking it up!

 

[LarryOz]

414 miles the guys. They are 0.5 mph faster than the girls right now, so 21.5 hrs x 0.5 mph puts them about 11 miles ahead. They also started the short loop at different times so their mileage will not match up any longer .
Congrats to both teams for passing 400 miles already with 2 1/2 hours to go!

 

[LarryOz]

It is 4:48pm local time. Men have 442.8 and last came through at 23:13 - Women have 429.6 and last came through at 23:08 - It is possible that they stopped since both should have posted another. 4.8mile lap long ago (should only take about 15 min at 20mph.

No matter what - great result to both teams - Go Cruzbike!

Each team member took a turn for 1 or 2 laps.

 

[Robert Holler]

Amazing mileage!!
