The days go from EDT (3pm) hence blog for day 4 as of 19:42pm (EDT). The first cut-off for the race is at the end of day 4, 3pm on Sunday 21st June. The racers have to arrive at timestation #18, Taos, NM by this time to enable them continue. Dan continues to ride well through the mountains; in the Racer Stats it appears that he is moving quite slowly...click on his name and compare his times to stations with others above. He is actually relatively fast but taking a much longer single rest each night than any of the other racers. This plan was discussed at length by the crew and Dan pre-RAAM and is keeping him safe, awake and injury free, long may this continue as the inevitable fatigue sets in, if he gets too close to the curve then some of this time may need to be shaved. Thanks again to Ross and Jay (artistic black and white shots :)) for the photos - click for larger picture!
