Fredrik Carlberg (right) & Jamie Layfield (left) drove down from Toronto to bike with Kevin and I for a few days. They have been an awesome addition to the team.


At some points in the day Kevin and I had up to 4 additional riders breaking the wind for us with the addition of Jamie, Fred, Eric, and Ian MacLean.


Yep that is me taking care of the last stages of the food poisoning!!


The team celebrating getting to Lake City; a 133 mile day that saw us leave Tallahassee, go south to the Gulf Coast and then northeast to Lake City. Definitely on the home stretch now!!
