Race Update Monday June 16, 2008 7AM

Race Fans, we are going to attempt to provide a daily commentary by former racer Alex Field who unfortunately was not able to race this year. Here is Alex's first installment:

Update: Monday the 16th 7am
Its Monday morning and the end of the third day on the trail. Matthew Lee and Reubin Kline are in the lead and have been riding together for most of the way. Ardie Olson is not far behind, though he did come through the border faster than anyone else with an alledged tactic of 24 hours on/12 hours off. In previous years, Matt Lee has done the Canadian sector in 36 hours, but with this section now under racing conditions alot of racers are bettering that time.
After bad conditions on Saturday and through the night, things have cleared up, and it looks to be a cool and rain-free run for the next few days.
