DNF
Big list, will figure out later

I'll do the math for ride time once I get some confirmation on the start time.

Awesome year, some serious gumption was needed to stay out there in the wind and cold.

Send me an email if you want me to use your last name or if there are issues with finish times.

First Finishers?

Somewhat garbled message from (I think) an Eric and Gaven has them finishing a little after 2:30pm Saturday.

DNFs

A rough count comes to at least 13 people dropping out so far.

Updates

I pulled the plug around mile 150 yesterday. Dead legs, knee and back pain, knew I didn't have another 250 or so left in me. Rode 20 miles to the nearest Turnpike exit to meet my ride. For the record, exit 201 is the loneliest of the Turnpike exits.

The Tressler brothers texted me around 3:00 am. they called it quits in Somerset, couldn't get warm again after hours riding in 20 degree windchill.
