And to think that next year a friend of our will also be up there. He and FC should arrange a Meet&Greet as FC will easily outpace him. Oh this is going to be great!

If you'd like a good chance of seeing the black blur go by, perhaps start watching 15 mins earlier? Start: 6:30a MT 6th Street inbound: 6:30a MT Partway down Powerline outbound: 8:10a MT Just past Twin Lakes Dam outbound: 9:25a MT Most of the way up Columbine outbound: 10:50a MT Part way down Columbine inbound: 11:30a MT Before Twin Lakes Dam inbound: 11:50a MT Part way up Powerline inbound: 1:35p MT 6th Street inbound: 4:00p MT Finish: 4:00p MT NO GUARANTEES, CHECK MY MATH. Here's the Google Sheet I used, combining expected splits at the main check points for a 9h 30m finish with my timing for an 11h 30m finish last year. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NvUQj7vXJZAdYgoYjSX9Mi4cUOwdX0AeJpvXxrasnt0/edit?usp=sharing Okay, here’s my BEST GUESS at the time of day that the EldenHammer Train will be arriving at each of the 5 stationary cameras (see second link in my prior post).

I'll do the same for the Monster assuming a finish time 1 hour later. Actually, tomorrow, we’ll know EXACTLY where he is!
