Congrats Cjell! It's been fun to watch our Nepal-buddy tackle this latest adventure!

Of course, it's been inspiring to follow ALL the amazing riders out there... hats off to some super-impressive vets (Jarral, Erik Lobeck, et al), the many gals (who are rockin' it!), and really anyone who gets on a bike out there! Kudos.

Wait, actually, no worries... it sounds like Matthew got word to Eric and he's riding through

Just talked to Forest. He's going to stay in Silver City tonight & meet up with Matt, Erik, Aidan (??). Eric Nelson is ahead of him in Silver City and he's trying to get him word that there's a crew mtg up. If anyone has a way to text Eric, please hit him up.

Otherwise, Forest said he thought Eric might be hoping to ride through anyway.... so no worries.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dave, Lexi, Pete, et al.
Our family has been thinking of you all day, as have many other families of riders...

Here's hoping that Dave's recovery will be swift... And that the next few days to bring comfort to you all.

Matthew does look scared
I hope the other Mr. Billman is feeling good out there!
