Racing to the finish...

Our team survived a brutal night climbing the Appalachian Mountains--ouch. They're battling it out for fourth place with the infamous "Team 607" and are expected to beat their time last year of 6 days, 9 hours and 20 minutes. Currently, the team has been on the road for 5 days, 18 hours and 21 minutes. I think they can do it!

We are in Maryland and...

We are in Maryland and headed toward the Finish. We've got about 120 miles to go. Jim is out on the road. listen

Well, we are in the home stretch...

Well, we are in the home stretch, on the last day of the race. Things are going okay. Just had a little accident and went down in a tight corner coming down a steep descent, but he is okay. Nothing but a couple scrapes and bruises and bruised pride. Will keep you updated. listen

Yes, we just pulled...

Yes, we just pulled in Athens, Ohio and we're crossing the Ohio State University campus beautiful. All the streets here are made out of bricks and Dave Ridoud(?) is out on the road and it is rough. But, he's doing good. listen

To continue, it...

Yeah to continue, it got a little long winded on the last one, this is Jeff again. Yea, there will be 4 people that will be exchanging, so 2 people will ride till midnight (that would be Pete and Dave Rideout). Jim and Frank would be coming in to relieve them as well. So, well be praying for us.

(Sidenote from Jenna: The team sends two out on the road sometimes so they can take turns drafting behind one another, which gives one rider a break while the other takes the headwind. Then they switch. This provides momentum and keeps the riders warm, rather than taking turns and hopping in and out of the van and getting on the bike cold).
