Ride The Lobster - What's Happening?

Help! I'm wondering what's happening with RTL? It must have started already but I don't yet see any updates on the website... Sorry if this is impatient but I'm really curious! I've brought my laptop to a garden party so I can keep track ;-)

I hope Ken got his leg stitched back together in time to be able to race!

Oh, I'm a muppet and got confused about dates and overexcited by all this pre-RTL talking by everyone! Just ignore me ;-)

Thanks for setting me straight!

Team Hurt seem to be stuck at the starting line.

Maybe they dropped their GPS.

For those people who are new to the coverage, Ride the Lobster live GPS online race coverage can be found here ...
http://www.ridethelobster.com/race/results.php

Blog updates here ...
http://ridethelobster.wordpress.com/

Based on the last blog post it looks like it's been a rough time for some.

I'll be heading out to Nova Scotia on Wednesday to catch the last half of the race.

What this is nuts! The germans and Totaly Doable are neck in neck, with Yellow line fever about twelve KM behind.

This is intense and only two hours into it!!!

I think there are some GPS problems because team NZUNI just jumped from second last to in the top pack.

Check the wordpress blog at www.ridethelobster for more detail on the carnage over the weekend.
Best,

O man thats nuts!!! I'm really really impressed at how well The Masticating Bunnies are doing.

This whole race is really exciting, and the blips that the GPSes seem to be having, makes it even crazier.

Looks like it's been an epic battle most of the day between the Team NZUNI and the German Speeders. VERY fun to watch.

Go Puget Sounders!!!
