how'd the little man have his pugs set up?

and how's he doing now?

Apparently he's pretty tired. He was planning to take the day off of work. Gof figure.

Pugs was set up with mechanical disks, 2x9 (22-32 rings, I think), gripshift.

Waterbottles in insulated holders (2 on fork, one on frame), handlebar bag for food, madatory gear (sleeping bag, stove, food) in bags on front and rear racks. He borrowed a cool little stove (esbit?) from someone -- crazy light. And pogies on the handlebars (pretty much everyone had these).

Everyone seemed to be dropping their tire pressure during the race. I think Lindsay started with about 20PSI, and finished with less (some guys were saying about 12 was right).

Other stuff people were using: frame bags in the main triangle, every manner of home made/supposedly freeze proof camel backs (most of them froze), titec h-bars, single brake (front or rear, take your pick).
