Today marked the half way point! The Osprey flew through time station 25 marking 1503.9 miles ridden and 1510.5 to go. The crew however could not resist stopping at the time station to briefly visit the wonderful people manning it. This station is marked by a McDonalds and the owner provides free food for the crews and riders. They also gave us water, bags of mixed nuts, bug repellent (yup there are a lot of them out here) and a huge helping of hospitality. While trying to catch the Osprey as she flew through Kansas we were delayed by a car fire between us and the day crew with Janet.
Now that we are back with Janet cruising through the state we are reading your posts to her- it is currently 12:30 PM. She is really enjoying hearing from all of you and it truly helps motivate her (not that Janet has any lack of resolve to conquer this beast called RAAM). Please keep posting so that we have more to read to her as Janet makes circles through the night. I should note that it is a beautiful night which started with a fireworks show thanks to the fire flies - way cool.
If you have a personal message that you do not feel comfortable posting here on the blog, you can always e-mail me so that I can read it to her. My address is bill-osborn@sbcglobal.net.
Hope to hear from all of you soon...
Bill Osborn
