Heck, if I won anything it would have been shared with you on bike parts or ice cream or beer or whatever it would have afforded. Spago was yummy but I'M FREAKIN' SICK OF BEING COOPED UP WITH MY FELLOW INMATES!
Sorry, feeling a little claustrophic.

Bernie called about 7:00Pm tonight. He's in the Show-me state(also, my native state) at Collins, MO Sounded great! I was at a bike club board meeting, so I could not talk very long, Really didn't want to take much of his time, and the cell reception was bad.
Go Team JDRF!

MP - I'm so glad you posted! I got a call yesterday too, at about 3:00 pm, just as I was heading into a conference call, and after that I was without any posting capability until just now (my 6-year old nephew and 2-year old niece are visiting - it's like living in a hurricane
I don't know how all you parents do it!)
But yes - he sounded great, and said the ride is going very well, and wanted to thank everyone for the support.
Keep calm and carry on...

Just got my call from Bernie - they're still in PA, but rapidly approaching Jersey, woo-hoo !
He said they're in rain and thudershowers right now, and he said something about a tornado warning (ack!!). I asked him if wind was a problem, and he said they were experiencing a lot of side winds.
The connection was pretty bad, and just as I asked him if there was anything he wanted to say to the folks on bikejournal & TE, the connection died.
In theory I may hear again from him, or someone else on the team, in a couple of hours - I'm getting the calls both from TS 55, Delaware Mem Bridge (the one they're approaching), and TS 56 in McKee City, NJ which is the last timestation before the finish.
So please feel free to let me know if there's anything you want me to tell them as they approach the finish !
