Is there a summary of HOW the finishers got the job done? We hear where they are and when, but what equipment, food and general strategy did they follow? For example, the Mountain Turtle said he'd ride dawn to dusk, avoiding riding in the dark. I'm interested in challenging the divide route perhaps next year, and I'd like to gather as much info as possible to improve my odds of getting to Mexico within a time window of 2X of the leader.
