Early this morning, around 5, Kevin briefly stopped for a shake. He’s been hammering the pedals at 18-19-20 mph to reel in the riders ahead of him and burning thousands of calories. We had a team meeting in the back of the bus around making our stops more efficient; we must get Kevin back out on the road as quickly possible.Note: Go Kevin Go!

It’s like déjà vu all over again. We crossed over a set of railway tracks and found ourselves in a new state. This time it’s Missouri. We’ve left Kansas behind and, with it, most of the wind. The land of Dorothy and Toto delivered gusts that had Kevin’s bike at a 45-degree angle. The wind was absolutely relentless. Note: Make a donation today and help Kevin raise $250,000!
