Daniel arrived at Pratt, Kansas at 17:08 (EDT) - he arrived here at 4am, 11 hours later, last year. It is over 100, many of the riders have chosen to take a break until it cools down. Daniel is taking in an incredible amount of fluid and so far feels good and has been able to remain hydrated - the pay off of doing all one's training in Houston I suspect. He had a fall at the last time station, coming into the station, pulling up onto the sidewalk! He grazed his leg, destroyed a pair of cycling shorts, but neosporin and a dressing should ensure that it doesn't become a problem. The plan is to stop at El Dorado tonight, that is about 110 miles from Pratt.

Very pleased to hear about the fluid intake - I was thinking about that today. A fall always takes a bit out of you (duh!) - and I am sure you will be paying attention to how the man is feeling.
Also zooming the Alan Tracker map out is a pretty amazing way of realising the enormity of the undertaking. Well done to all!
Awesome effort so far Daniel... When I talked to you the day before you left, I felt you had a keen respect for the task ahead of you. Keep it up and above all stay safe. Well done to all the crew... You guys make it happen
Glad its going well - just keep doing more of the same. All the best, we're all thinking of you.

Your hard work before you left is paying off. We're both putting in long hours in the saddle (albeit mine is in the office)
