Tour Divide Race 2014

Currently I am planning to participate in the Tour Divide Race 2014.

Tour Divide Race 2013 notes:

Day 1:

Craig and Mike in the lead, stopped at Sparwood subway around 6pm, they ride further down Corbin road, close to Flathead Valley Rd around 8pm, where will they camp? Forum says “Butt’s cabin” is likely. 10pm, still doesn’t look like camping for those two.

Many other riders ride out of Elkford as well, seems like they want to make it to Sparwood as well.

Day 2:

After 7 days, roughly between Ashton and Dubois, aprox mi 1280, easy to miss turn for the Brook’s Lake Raod at the top of Togwotee Pass

(here also Flagg Ranch (Rd?) must be, riders got a “Burger Challenge” somewhere here…)

Golden Spike likely at Brush Mountain Lodge, Mike and Cjell

June 22: mike hall leading strongly, maybe makes it to Como Depot in the evening,

before Como there also seem to be the “Gold dust trail”

Eric Foster calls in, he is currently on position 45?, strong between 22-25 days, says he wants to make it way up Union pass, talks about a place to stay there,
