AquaDyne, do you have a direct link to Cinder's video? Only FB friends can access her page.

That's strange, I'm not her FB friend, but had no trouble viewing her page:

How can you not be FB friends with the only person to have participated in the entirety of BOTH the current male and soon-to-be-female fastest crossing of America records? :D

That happened after I got rid of Facebook a few years ago. And, others might be interested. I thought maybe they would stream it on Sandy's open FB page but looks like not.

Apparently not. But keep an eye on Cinder's page. She is posting these feeds with "public" privacy settings so anyone should be able to see them, friend or not.

Looks like after the bridge crossing they are Uber-ing to City Hall (or nearby) to stream the end of it.

I tried three different browsers and they all tell me her page is not available. I have no clue why.

If you can provide updates please do. Her Garmin has stopped updating on my end of the internet.

It looks like you need to be logged in to Facebook, but don't need to be on Cinder's friends list.

Pete K's Garmin has the same connection issues in NYC. He thought it might be due to his older Garmin but that doesn't seem to be the case. Too many internet users in NYC.

Okay, thanks. I need to recreate a FB account .... ugh. So will anyone else who wants to watch the rest of the show. The Shared Garmin seems to be DONE for the duration.

I've been away and now catching up.

Walking would get her to the George Washington Bridge at ~9:15pm local time.

Appears she did get to the west side of the GW Bridge around 9:16pm local time. (yuk-yuk-yuk)

You should take credit for 9:15 since it seems she was right by the south ramp of the bridge at the at time. :-)

Just updated. 149th st. Anyone know a good conversion of NYC blocks to mileage?

So what is happening now? The Garmin has been down here for an hour. Is somebody getting full video now? Can one of them carry a smartphone? Are they taking a break?

We feel out of touch, and I don't do Facebook (but do check public FB pages if available, and the only outlet).

9.2 miles to City Hall, per Google Maps.

Sandy is running the west side of Manhattan on a bike trail. Last seen on Garmin parallel with 146th st at about 7:37, making 3 city blocks per 2 minutes. Math says she'll finish after 11pm but before midnight.

There hasn't been anything new on Facebook since the GW Bridge. But she is moving very slowly now, according to the tracker. This is going to be a late night finish.

She's picked up pace faster than a walk, to 3.74 miles/hr, since getting on the bike path. At least for now.

How do you figure that? It's already 10:45 PM and she's still got 9 miles to go, and moving at 2 mph.
