Jure' halfway there

Jure' has arrived in Pratt, Kansas, the designated halfway point in the past few RAAM's. He's looking a lot better than in the mountains in Colorado. He rested more than usual due to him pushing too much due to the tailwinds in the desert. So, he's back on track but under the solo average of 15.4 mph. Gulewicz is riding steady but has lost some ground in Kansas. The surprise is Georgian Kevin Kaiser. I'm pulling for him to reach the podium as he's a pharmacist like me; ohhhh my, the dark force just entered my mind!!! No, Bubba, No; you can't be my ultra-father.

Meanwhile, Barbara Buatois holds a commanding lead in the women's solo, and belladonna Sabrina Bianchi is moving up the standings.

Hardly any DNF's so far, but after all the rain in Colorado, upper respiratory infections may set in! The tough just keep on going, "What's coughing up a little blood!" Steve Born told Bubba when we took him to the hospital in Craig,CO, 2001, "Everyone does it during RAAM!"

TS 39 will be setting up Tuesday afternoon ready for our first arrivals that evening and more later in the night. Hopefully, all these thunderstorms the past few days will dissipate, but it's June in Indiana! One never knows!
