PBP showed us just how brilliant our forum (in its previous guise) could be at virtual support for our online friends and acquaintances. The "Progress" thread was a highly addictive magnet for us who were supporting from a distance, and I suspect a useful source of reading/reference matter for the riders when they got back and read it for themselves.
We don't have the online rider tracking that PBP had, but many riders are electing to tweet their progress
LEL on TwitterIf you want to follow them thataway (and it's already showing activity) then register to use Twitter and search for #lel. It's dead easy.
If you want to contribute, all you need to do is to tweet with #lel anywhere in the message. You can do this by sending a text from your mobile if you set up your twitter account to receive texts. Again, easier than it sounds.
If you don't want to open a Twitter account, just follow the tweets here:

If anyone wants to post progress bulletins or news on this forum, as Chris suggests, here's a thread for it.
