After seeing all these comments, and listening to the MTB casts over the past 9 days, I have the utmost respect for all you riders.  I swear - I was glued to the computer since day 1.  And to see all the support from mothers, girlfriends, spouses, co-workers, friends, family, and fellow riders has been absolutely amazing.  You all are the hardest of the hardcore mountain bikers, and you deserve the highest of accolades.

Prayers go out to the remaining riders on the course.  Finish strong!

Thanks to Stefan and the rest of the crew who put all this together.  Your updates gave us family members some much-appreciated relief when we started to worry.

It looks like it's almost all downhill for Andy Farish. He's going to make it in tonight!

Someone buy that guy a beer or 10 or 20!

Sending some positive vibes and encouragement to Andy Farish... almost there, brother!

 

To Andy Farish... FREAKIN' GOOD JOB, BROTHER!  If you had a race number, we'd all have your sticker on the back of our cars.  You have the whole Monte Vista and Trailmark community pulling for you.  Keep up the awesome pedal power!
 

Prayers and positive vibes go out to all the riders... especially pulling for my brother, Andy Farish... GO ANDREW!  KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK SO FAR!
