18 Miles from TS #27, Breedlove news broken to Mike
Just spoke to Byron. They decided to go ahead and tell Mike about Breedlove. Mike cried for about 5 minutes and then just got mad and started riding hard. “That’s probably what I would’ve done,” said Byron. “But Mike took the news about as well as we could expect.”
They didn’t want some media vehicle to come by and spring the news on Mike such as last year with the allegations of cheating. Right now they’re 18 miles from TS#27 and still fighting those nasty 20-25mph crosswinds. They’re looking forward to about 7-8pm when the winds die down.
In a couple hours the crew is going to read messages from the Web site comments you guys have been posting. Mike’s been asking about them and really wants to hear what people are saying. So don’t think you’re wasting your time posting comments here. Mike is hearing it all and very happy and encouraged that so many of you are supporting his amazing effort.
So keep the comments flowing! And God bless Bob Breedlove and his family.

Alejandro, Jure will make sure that you will spell our country correctly ;) Just look at the #1 on the podium in Atlantic City.
We're so proud of you! The Allin/Beets family promises you a big lasagna dinner when you return.

Greetings from Wichita! Have a great ride past our city. Watch the traffic on 53rd Street - the drivers can be unpredictable. Keep up the great work - we're pulling for ya!

Marko is still going with his pace with a smile on his face. He is in better mood and that you can see from results at TS23, where he has the advantage over MacDonald. He says hello to all the fans and supporters and he says not to give up, because Mississippi is still far and there the real race begins.
Mike,
You are an insiration to us all. Stacey and I have been glued to the computer and check every chance we get.
Keep making us relocated midwesterners proud up in Canada. We've got lots of classmates and friends watching you now...all in pretty much awe. We can't wait to see you keep kicking ass from the midwest to your first place finish. YOU CAN DO IT! (to be said like in the movie Waterboy)
Our deepest condolenses go out to Bob, his family and fans.
All the best,
Dave Sick
Michael....

Mike- You truly one BADASS Dude! All my friends are either keeping track of the race through the website, or asking me how your doing. I'm in awe. Keep up the good work.
Hi Mike,
It's tom g. at QC. I have been watching your progress since the start. You are doing a fantastic job.
Maybe next year I will do the 24hr ride.
PS Come back safely because I need you to straighten out all the database issues ;)

Just as Fabio Casartelli rode (and rides) with Lance. Bob rides with Mike. Feel the power, Mike!
