Racing the Colorado Trail with TopoFusion
August 1st, 2008The second annual Colorado Trail Race is underway right now. 23 mountain bikers lined up to race 530 miles of singletrack from Denver to Durango. This race is epic with a capital E!
Some of the racers are carrying SPOT tracking units, and there’s a leaderboard showing current positions. But the leaderboard is pretty static — we at TopoFusion knew we could do more.
Using TopoFusion’s newly updated and revamped Multi-track playback feature, it’s possible to replay the race so far and watch it unfold, overlayed on any of the host of imagery supported by TopoFusion.
Check out the replay of the first four days of the race, hosted on vimeo:
