Update 2:47 EDT: After returning form the crew exchange zone, Mike posted this:

I did my small part to help Team NorEaster in the bike Race Across America. This morning, I shuttled a new crew member, Dave, down to the race route and brought Sandy back to Kansas City after she’d been a crew member since the beginning of the race.

Here is a short video clip* of Greg (probably best known among orienteers as the creator of CatchingFeatures). The video is from the highway a bit east of Collins, Missouri. It was inspiring to see the team. They looked good. Well, not really good, but not as bad as you might expect after riding so far.

*You’ll have to go to Mike’s Blog , the Sunday, June 18, 2006 entry, to view the video.
