For everyone concerned about the apparent abandon, don't worry. It's clear that they've had some big problems with the final stage electronic tracking, there are lots of people listed as abandoned because it looks like they entered many finishing times as 23:04 or some such. They're probably doing this just to get results out of the system and then manually check them against the control cards.
As for me, I definitely saw the woman stamp mine and write 11hr and some number of minutes (eyes not working so well at that point). So my final time will be 78 hours and change.
Right now we've arrived in Nice, where it is a pleasant 75* at 11pm. Five days of r & r on the shores of the Mediterranean, maybe day trips to Monaco and Italy. The bike is securely packed away in the basement of a Paris hotel.
Further updates on the ride tomorrow...
DOLORES CX A WINTRY SUCCESS!
For most of the day we had periods of driving snow, but that did not deter most of the Four Corners' 'cross riders from braving the 'real' 'cross conditions! Congratulations to all who participated - everyone must have enjoyed it because we only had one DNF out of all 64 riders!
And a big thanks to all the volunteers who made this happen: Grant Berry, Paul and Kari Adams, Chris Horton, Jeff Fox, Patrick and Brandi, Bryan Wender, Robert Garrigues, Lauren Hall, Michael Engleman, Katie and Thad Koppenhafer, George Baacke, Scott Clow, Vince MacMillan, Pete Shirk, and of course Dave Hagen and the Fort Lewis crew.
