I did get a kick out of the google translate of this:

Peter nálgast Klaustur og er hress og kátur eftir að mótvindurinn breyttist í meðvind.

Peter approaches the Monastery, and is refreshed and happy after the windswind turned into a wind turbine.


You get the gist.

:D

I've got the live page open next to the Ride With GPS course so I can compare elevation and distance remaining.

The live page (doesn't work in chrome, oh the irony) http://www.wowcyclothon.is/en/follow

Here's a fun article.

Apparently there is a storm coming as well and there is a cutoff ( you can read that on facebook)

Hjólakraftur is a special team made up of kids & teenagers. They aren't racing so much as riding the course with support. Looks like they go at the same time as the solo entries so they don't have to contend with the traffic of a big peloton & supports.

I've had no trouble with http://live.at.is/ (small country, short URLs)

Fortunately the area that's closing due to weather is like 200km behind Peter.

He won!! (Of course)
But hell, just surviving is an accomplishment without even considering how speedy he was!  
All I can say is from looking at Christine's pic's of Peter, that I have NEVER in all the years I have known him seen him so bundled up, so it must be balls cold out there, not to mention the rains.  
I can't wait to hear Peter's and Christine's and Chris's reports :)
