Weather is much better

Team Delta made it through the weather challenges yesterday. When we exchanged squads we heard a few stories to share. Lighting struck right next to Mark Luke when he was riding! The girls in the follow vehicle (Dawn, Diane & Sharon) along with Shaw (rider) got off the road and into a ditch fearing a tornado. The winds were fierce but they made it through just fine. We hope for much better weather this afternoon for Delta.

As for squad Bravo, we are out of the rain for now. Traveled across Missouri today and into Illinois. We will be in Indiana within the hour. It's amazing that ittle towns like Robinson, IL have broadband access! After a solid 4-5 hrs rest last night, we are ready to win this race. We still stand in 7th place with about 55 minutes between us and the team in 6th (United Eight).

I will try and send more pics this afternoon.

Amy, Crew
