Is that for the 'before' and 'after' sequence? Or the official weigh in?

no idea.
I 'lifted' it off Tobie Stevens collection of photos as riders/pillions submitted themselves thru the registration 'maze'.

Its the riders photo as part of the sd card for the rally legs photos probably.

I could be wrong (often the case), but I think I have found the Aussie contingent.

Ride well everyone!

Riders are pretty spread out. There an obvious trail of what are very limited bonuses heading south fro mdenver ish, theres anothe rfro mthe east...

Jeff is a diabolical puzzle guy, this leg with its very limited number of bonuses makes for difficult decisions

Huge storms in Tulsa apparently. According to reports, the place looks like a warzone. 240k people without power...I believe the checkpoint hotel is included. Almost every intersection is a mess.

I've just been reading through the call in out takes - call in transcription fails. on the IBR site. Funny as heck. Well worth a read.
I noticed that Mountain Little had called in

Leg 1 standings are up. Go Jeff!!

 

[Roadbandit]

just catching up . Jeffs going really well. Martin and Pillion piglet are in the mix and Olaf is pacing himself. Ride well!

Steady first leg for all 3. Consolidating themselves well.
No-one ever pushed their empty entree plate and said "I've had enough -cheers"
Nope...'cos main course is next - "a large helping, please", and bring the Dessert Menu after that thanks.

Was talking to Chris after hsi primary drive chain failure and he said he got to spend a few hours sitting in the dark and saw the most beautiful sunrise.
Ah,, rallies...

A couple of pix from today's posts:

Olaf looks a bit beat-up, but Martin and Bec are good for another day.

 

[Roadbandit]

I'm not sure who looks more beat up, Olaf or the scorer
