Day 5 8am



Daniel reached the cutoff in Taos at 9:36am, Sunday 21. By the time he pulled up into Elkart, Kansas at 1:49am Monday 22 he had covered 320 miles since his last sleep. 30mins to eat etc then back to sleep for 4 hours. He was back up and on the bike by 6:58 am , the most efficient turn around yet Jay reports! He now has 1 1/2 days of cycling through the Kansas plains, with temperatures in the 90s.

Looking good! It is great to see how well things are playing out so far.

Many thanks for the updates & pictures - please keep them coming.

By the way, who is on the crew? Hadn't seen a list. And while Daniel is THE MAN, I know the crew is also critical.

We're watching very closely and keeping Daniel & the crew in our prayers. Keep on truckin'!!
