Napping in motel room -- disposition still great
Just spoke to Byron and he reports Mike's disposition and attitude are still great. He's very lucid and having no physical problems other than a saddle sore, which is very common and expected at this stage of the race.
Because it's 95F with humidity over 80%, they decided to do the old one-hour air-conditioned motel room trick and Mike's currently taking a nap in the room. Yesterday it really picked him up after he took his nap. "Conditions are so hot out here, I don't know how any of these riders can deal with it," says Byron. "It's too hot for me just walking around out here. I can't imagine riding in this."
Mike's girlfriend Amanda is on her way and should be meeting up with the crew in the next hour to an hour and a half. With the motel room nap and Amanda's arrival, Mike should be rocking and rolling in a few hours.
Byron also reports that in 2,000-plus miles they've only had four flats on the bike (last year they had 14 for the whole ride) and one of the vans has had one flat tire already and is still operating on a can of fix-a-flat. Mike's riding Specialized clincher tires provided by B&L Bike Shop in Solana Beach, Calif.

We are IOWANS. We thrive like the corn in this heat and humidity. Remember one peddle, one turn, one mile, one time station and one day at a time. We are all with you every peddle of the way. Be safe. With pride and love,
