Ryan: Congratulations on the finish!!! :-) (I know he's not QUITE done yet, but I have to go to work & he'll be done in the next few minutes...)

To everyone who has had an issue on the ride: You are awesome for two reasons!!! 1) For even starting the adventure of the TD! & 2) For getting as far as you did - even if it wasn't as far as you wanted! You are among a very few in number and are amazing!! Thank you for letting us "participate" through you!!
To everyone along the ride: Thank you for the pictures and updates!!!
To everyone "behind the scenes": Thank you for doing what you do so the ride can go on!!!

Chip looks like he only has about a hundred miles left! Good luck, Chip!!

Very glad to "see" riders moving and safe! I hope the fires stay out of the way. Good luck to all today!

Fixie Dave: Hope you're doing better today! Watched your video from after...

Long Ranger: Interesting call!! Good luck!!

Tracey P: I hope you got your good coffee!! Glad you didn't hurt yourself more with the fall & are enjoying the memories as well. Jay P: What's it like being on the "other side" of the dot? How are you holding up?

Max: I like the do what I can!! You can't expect to be positive EVERY day! Keep pushing! Keep going! Good luck! :-)

Michael: Glad you're having some fun!! I liked the thank you to your wife!

Kurt & Caroline: Congratulations!! Just listened to the call-in... I would have to say that you both sound wonderful!! And if you can make it through the TD together, I would be willing to bet you'll be able to do/survive ANYTHING together!! (You have to love someone to be able to hate them! So get back to the love part!!) :-)

Jim S. & Tracy B. (Not sure if Blake is with them or not): Be safe!!! Glad you got together for dinner! Enjoy the company & keep the "strangers" at bay!!

Congrats, Eric!!! Glad it was a SPOT glitch and not something bad!!

Looks like Chip has hit Canada!!

Did anyone find out why Eric did the backtracking thing? I have him at 6+ hours in Silver City... Hope he's ok!!

Congratulations to Kurt & Caroline!! Way to go!! :-)

Interesting that Greg Strauser decided to leave the route around Kremling and take the roads to Del Norte.  I've toured that on a road bike, and the GDMR is so much nicer.  Smooth cruising in Colorado too.  I'd rather do a GDMR tour in Colorado than make it to Mexico via those highways, but to each his own.  Hope he is enjoying the ride.

I'm not sure if he's the one who's going to run out of vacation time... There was a post earlier about someone having to go roads instead due to the amount of time left... couldn't find it when I went back looking for it.

Way to go, Eszter!!! Wonderfully amazing!!! And you can just tell you're smiling in the call-ins! Thank you!!!

Jarral's call-in gave me the shivers!! He sounds great! Congratulations, Jarral!!! I especially like the end (where I got the shivers)!!! Please, please continue to educate others and continue to kick diabetes' ass!!! You are one special person!!!

Here's hoping Cjell made it in ok and is enjoying a chocolate milk & a beer!! Well-done!! Hopefully Jarral has an uneventful last part of the ride for the finish & Eszter zooms in behind him!! Congratulations to all who have finished up to now, to the ones who will be finishing the rest of today, and to the rest who are still out there doing it!!! :-)  Thank you!!!!

To all riders: May you pass through the areas with wildfires without issues. Too many people I know being affected by both Colorado & New Mexico fires. They take off with the wind and it puts everyone at a distinct disadvantage. Anyone who fights these types of fires has my absolute respect and appreciation!! (Especially since they saved my family's cabin in Northern Minnesota last fall!!)

This is a picture of Gen the unicyclist on the starting line:

Wow! Two tires would be hard enough!! Used to be able to ice skate and roller skate, now can't do either in my advanced age (the knees and ankles try to go the opposite directions)!! :-) Thanks for the picture!
