Colette called this morning, sounding relaxed and happy. They were 12 miles outside of Congress AZ. Lorenzo was on the road and Dave was getting some sleep before he gets on the bike later today to do some major climbing. All is well, no major mishaps. The riders will be transitioning in 12 hour shifts, where they ride for 4 hrs. rest 4, ride 4. The crew is split into three groups of three: #1 group: Danny, Amalia, Lee, #2 - Colette, Vernon and Virginia, #3 Kristen, Rick and Brenda. They will work 12 hrs as follow vehicle, 12 hrs transition and 12 hrs off and in each 12 hr period try to get 4 hrs of sleep.
The team has been getting lots of media coverage and the media crews drive by, take video and yell encouragement to the riders.
The weather is nice and in the 80's but it will get hotter. Last nite thru the desert it wasn't too bad- 70s and 80s (glad they missed the 100 degree heat!)

Greetings from Vacaville, Ca.
Hey it has been fun watching you guys race... I have really enjoyed the web site... I have a vested interest with you (she is about 5'4")... and it has been a joy to watch and listen to her grow... I pray that this finds you all in good spirits and good health... Honey what you are doing has encouraged my niece Katlynn to join a similar type of race for her papa, and just think baby she got encouraged by you when you were sharing at dinner the other night how you were so excited about this race, it started a fire in her little heart to race for her papa who has cancer... Mom and Dad love you to pieces, for the excitement and your commitment to the TDL cause...
See this is proof you never know whose life you are going to change just by sharing at dinner ... a 12 year old girl who looks up to you, caught a Martin Lurther King vision of "I HAVE A DREAM," and she listened and watched your face glow, and now she is reaching into her unseen to pull down that miracle, which at present cannot be seen....But she refuses to give up and you honey lit the fire...
We never know who is listening or watch us run this race...Paul said "we are encompassed by a great cloud of witnesses..." my extended family across America has been watching you race and it is bringing about a renewal of, I must be my brothers keeper...
I have something I would like to give to you all ... "RIDE WITH PRIDE! YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE EVEN WHEN YOU CANNOT SEE IT ..."
I am involved with you not by chance but by God's sovereign plan and it has been my privilege to share TDL's Vision and Dreams with my co-laborers across America... And you are touching their lives... thank you for the privilege of being a friend to TDL... And it's riders and crews...
The Gala was awesome, but this is ride with you, is the bomb!!! Please take care of my baby... I will see you on the flip side, and Ladies and Gentlemen it has been an honor to get to know you and your dream and call you friend...
May the Peace, Strength and Rest of God go with you the riders and crews of TDL & RAAM and keep you safe... "Struggles are a proof you have not been conquered!!!" Lives will be affected by your gift of Love and Commitment.... I want to thank you for your commitment and passion for TDL…
"RIDE WITH PRIDE!"
