The Blowout...

8:11 am- Mike’s first blog: Can I just say something? Just waking up after taking a rest after riding all night. Legs are feeling good…We had a beautiful AZ sunset before heading into Utah…we passed team 607 and continued through the night and got into Colorado which is pretty cool.

This morning while we were sleeping, our motorhome took a corner kinda tight and blew out a tire by going over a curb. We're getting that fixed and should be back on the road soon. This shouldn’t affect any of the riders…

8:28 am- Jeff
Mike and I came in from our night ride and got some sleep…we are in Durango CO getting our motorhome fixed. Then we’ll head out and Mike and I go back on the road for our shift. It will be a rough day because I had 2 hours of sleep and Mike had 4. We had such a rough day leaving Flagstaff and heading into Durango. Rough, rough winds. We got motivated though, because we passed the team that was ahead of us, and blew out time separation from them.
