We're going to be testing out a new thing this year...GPS tracking. A handful of the top riders will be equipped with a GPS unit that will track their movements on a fancy little computer program. This should allow us to give spectators an accurate idea of when the top finishers will be crossing the finish line. Pretty cool. Thanks to AMB i.t. (Champion Chip) for making this possible. We look forward to seeing how this new technology will work for backcountry mountain biking.
Todd - keep up the awesome work! Looking forward to Sunday.

Disclaimer: It's just a first product test to help us develop it further and see how it works on remote singletrack. Trackers may be used by other riders than they are assigned to, so don't count on this as anything official. Thanks!!
