A lot of riders should finish this night: Jorne Bluekens Pete Crawforth Chris Moorhouse Nick Carter May just about make closing time :)

No overnight scratches.

Suspicious lack of scratches today.... hardy bunch this lot.

No overnight scratches again......

This leaves us with just three riders: - Andrea Rodgers - Martin Brown - Johnny Baker

Highland Trail Trepid Explorer DotWatcher absolute respect to all the riders completing the course. Being fast is one thing but having mental resilience for 7+ days is a skill that is awesome.

No overnight scratches. Three riders still on the course.

Nearly quit yesterday but the view from the tent door today made me question why I'd miss out on another day of this. Battery low and charger broke so signing off till the finish line. #goTrep

Last two riders on the final leg home.

Highland Trail Yeeeehaaar 👏 Takes Soooooo much resilience to be other there on day 8 - talking from experience 😁👊

Highland Trail They deserve as much, if not more, kudos as the winner! #hardcore

Highland Trail it’s been a scorching day - i’m frazzled.

Two riders still on course, should hopefully finish today. The HTR550 is not over until the last rider finishes folks.
