The riders has now been on the road for just over 24 hours and it is now rather clear that the planning strategies of the riders are...somewhat different!
Unfortuantely we cannot see the location of all riders, the use of tracking was up to the rider, not mandatory.
But right now at 10:00 on the Friday we have riders between 52 degrees North all teh way up to 67 degrees North!
Some in the south, some in the Baltic states and even a few in Finland!
Seems like the Ferry bonus where you could get points for each hour spent on a ferry, and even allowing you to collect points during you rmandatory rest-break did the trick, we have at least 3 participants that used the option to take long overnight ferries.
So where is everybody right now, what are they doing!?
Latvia, well known summer resort area just outside capital of Riga: Jurmala.
One location there seems to have had some visitors.
The task: Take a picture of yourself in front of the Beachside restaurant Orrizonte.
Hopefully the snow that covered the beach when the location was scouted in march is now gone.
One other rider, while visiting Denmark seems to have visited a location close to the ferry port of Rödby.
The objective: Take a picture of a monument.
One rider appears to be approaching the westernmost point of mainland Sweden.
So what is the winning route?
Time will tell my friends, time will tell...
