EP9: 'How's that Face Feel?' Nov. 22

<< < (18/63) > >>

Slowhatch:
If the bike ride and the rappel are close to each other (it seemed that way in the promo "zoom in" edit) then they probably adapted some part of the Gemini Bridges trail, which is over 13 miles in its full length.

sarahbea:
Ski jump to Library is all highway except for downtown traffic which compared to most cities is not bad. I would say 30-40 minutes tops.

gingerman28:
It looks like the Weasels don't start running until they hit Sweden Street - and this being "off" property, I guess they can run all they want.

The four people on top of the Butte make sense: two team members, cameraperson and sound person. That is why the team can only send two people: the helio only has room for four people besides flight crew.

Are we sure that the Weasels are ahead of the Linz?  That would mean that they finished the bike ride in front of the Linz team who are rappeling down the Gemini Bridges. And got to night camp site before the others.  

There is a shot in the preview of one while trailer going in one direction and one black trailer going in the other. And since they did not get their trailers until the night over, is this perhaps one team going toward Heber City and the other team leaving? What kind of landscape is around Heber City?

There is another shot of the Linz trailerin the right lane passing another trailer which is in the left lane, so this must be a four-lane  interstate; perhaps a race from Ski Jump to Salt Lake City on  Interstate 80.

And Ma Weasel must have fun maneuvering with a fairly large trailer  through the streets of SLC!! (No mention that they leave the trailers at the Ski Jump, but perhaps they do). Driving with a large trailer is no mean feat especially if you have never done it before, and through crowded city streets to boot!!

Chateau d If:
Here  is a little bit of additional doom scenario.  The promo shot of an unhappy Megan happens right next to a trailer. 

I bet she is processing the fact that they will be departing in the morning at a time later than the Weasels.  :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

And the Weasels look pretty  jazzed as they leave Bart's place.  Like they just read that there is a yield ahead and they know that they are in the lead.

sarahbea:
That sounds right about I-80. It has a very steep summit just outside Park City. They would have to be careful heading into Salt Lake from Park City especially with a trailer. Heber City is off of 40. You can head to it from I-80 heading east and past Park City or take Provo Canyon south of Salt Lake and head east to Heber and then head north to Park City.
