I believe that when the riders crossed under the overpass of I25 (North of Casper) they were at the very northernmost part of the re-ride trail. Also, at midnight last night they were at the highest elevation of the trail. The highest elevation of the original trail is between Rock Creek and Strawberry Creek. (South and East of Atlantic City).
