With riding8-10hrs, the sleeping, then repeating over and over, we really have no clue what day it is. We are so tired now that it is easy to finish a session and crash no matter what time of day it is. Just tell me when the next riders will be back.

Although we are about 2/3rds across the nation, the race just started. When we past Fort Scott, KS (Time Station 30), the course became daunting. The Rockies are long moderate climbs, the plains were long flat with cross winds, but now it is frequent short hills that go up and down and up and down and just wear at you for hundreds of miles. Then it flattens up a little right before the Appalachian’s.

The storms are now gone, but things are getting sticky. You sweat and don’t dry off. Gotta go!
