6/15/07 COMMENT FROM CREW MEMBER - KEN

Ken- Pete's group. "Hello, blog line, this is Ken from the follow crew on what we are calling the "swing shift" these days. We are currently following Jeff Pearson. We just came out of Pratt, Kansas, where the folks were very hospitable. We were actually encountering some more technical problems or should I say minor electrical problems with the vehicles that we are working through. Every individual we came across in Pratt, Kansas, was amazingly helpful and pleasant. If we are going to have problems it is nice to be in place like that where they are so nice. The graveyard shift (Jim's group) is hopefully tucked away in their beds or close to their hotel where they will be going to sleep soon. At 2 in the morning we will be hooking up with them and we will be making the transition from one team to another. They probably have already blogged to say they had a great day of riding with 250 miles today. We have also had a good day of riding. Our riders have been riding into a steady headwind for most of the day, but using the drafting technique they have been keeping a good attitude about the whole thing and appear to be riding very strong. That is it for this blog, and we will probably blog a little bit later as well."
