Photos, new crew members tomorrow
A big thank you should go out to crew members Andy Schlief, Brett Lauinger and Dave Carr who are going to head back to their respective homes after tonight. A few fresh crew members will be joining tomorrow, including John Crumpler and Mike’s girlfriend Amanda Schneider. Not sure who else is joining but we’ll get you that as I hear from the crew.
For those wanting information and photos, the good news is that Crumpler’s bringing a digital camera (yes, a real camera not a cell phone wannabe) and laptop computer that he can wirelessly transmit through Bluetooth technology. John sent me a few wireless tests today while back in North Carolina and we learned good quality images could be transmitted in less than 12 seconds. So look for good images coming to the blog by late tomorrow.
John’s words in an e-mail to me today: “I am connected to the internet at 115k with a bluetooth connection between my laptop and my phone, and the upload takes about 12 seconds. No wires in sight. Amazing!”
Crew seems to be out of cell range at the moment. We’ll try to get a real time update later this evening.

Hi Mike
It's 4 AM here in Switzerland and I had to get up to feed my 3 week old junior (my wife needed a break). I thought I'll see to see how it's goin'. It looks like you're still going strong. Keep up the good work!
Hey Michael,
Keep up the strong focus you have out there. You are doing the right things! I am so proud of you - I wish I was there with some Motivating signs for you like last year!
You have a huge following- know that we are all rooting for you.
Love you- Ang
One more thing I just thought of that might make you laugh.
Remember when we were about about 8 and 10 years old and were out riding our bikes. I was talking a mile a minute and wasn't looking and the next thing I know I'm on top of a parked car. Ran right into it- all I remember was you were laughing pretty hard. :)
Mike:
You are doing a great job. Just stay with your plan. Robic will soon slow down and you can reel him in, pass him, and increase your lead to the finish in Atlantic City. There's no way Robic can sustain an average speed near 16 mph. Ride your ride and on Sunday you will be able to watch Robic and others cross the finish line well after you arrive in Atlantic City. Congratulations on a very smart and strong ride into Kansas. I look forward to watching you close on Robic. Best wishes.
