It looks like maybe the rider made a wrong turn on his way to work.

All properly-organised RE runs have a rider like this.  This applies to record-breaking runs, too.  His job is to ride at the back and pick up the kickstarts that have fallen off.

The mountians in the background show that the bike has left the event area and is heading back to get some more ice at the Salt Flat Cafe.

He was not with us except in spirit. He did offer to lend us his chainguard while we were looking for one so he is a totally good guy. We saw one other RE out there.
