Communication with the crew is dwindling as they concentrate on the matter in hand and as the cell coverage is patchy at best. A text message this morning was the only contact in the last 18 hours. Daniel is cycling well, still in the foothills before the Appalacians. Unlike some of the other racers who are in "zombie" mode now through lack of sleep Daniel is acting as normal, chatting etc.

" Acting as normal, huh?" That's open to interpretation. My take is that he is indeed acting as normal for him: ie cycling 250 miles a day uphill.
You know you love it, and you know that have the resources to finish in fine style. Great work by Eric and the crew to keep you upright and heading in the right direction.
Off to the UK in a couple of hours time. I'll see where you are at tomorrow.
Take care and keep pedalling,
Dick.
"Normal" is a realive term isn't it. Be careful during the upcoming miles... If you hear banjos playing whatever you do don't stop. This SPOT is awesome... It has been on constantly both at work and home. Has anyone told Daniel that he might finish better than Robic? Who'd thunk it... Great Work Crew without you, we'd be doing something else this weekend besides checking your progress. Tell Daniel to soak all this in and when he crosses the finish in Anapolis, he will accomplish something very few have ever done. Be safe all and God Bless
Daniel is going to pass through Belgium this afternoon!
Never knew that Belgium was in the US. Some of the names of the villages Daniel has passed are really fun.
Hope Belgium can get a smile on his face when he passes
Well Dan,
You'll also be passing through Israel, I see. I knew you were cycling a long way but this is getting ridiculous! Keep smiling!
Helen
great work Daniel. Keep peddling and resting when you need it and you will be the proudest finisher in Annapolis!!!
Ciaran, Daniel and Ross
Ooh - Thornton before Israel - you'll win everyone over if you stop for chocolates!
Keep going - I hope the names of the towns give you a chuckle!
Claire and Allan
Daniel,
You're doing great. Just a couple more ridges and it will be a freewheel down to Annapolis.
Neil
Checked in at first opportunity having arrived in Edinburgh. Great to see you approaching Hancock.
I hope you are savouring these last two hundred miles. You - all of you - are achieving something really very special.
