I just pulled in to TS52. Took these three shots and am off to find JS between here and TS51, probably catch him South of Westminster.

As soon as I do I will post pictures and video.

I know that this is preaching to the choir, but any of you guys getting pics or headed to the finish please be very careful to not cause any time penalties.
"You really dont want to make John mad..... you wouldn't like him when he's mad!"

Seriously though, be careful out there!

Check John's split times in the last two stages. They're as fast as the 4 and 8 person TEAM splits.

I just came back from a short ride. Legs hurting, way to tired, would never have gone usually.
All the way there was that guy in a blue suit and red cape behind me, pushing me when ever it got a little hard.

Thanks John!!!

JOHN IS MOVING!

Caught him South of Westminster.

He should be in TS52 within an hour at most!

Scott

Forgot to add, the picture was less than 12 miles from TS52, less than 67 miles to go!!!

     Great report Scott!   I wanted to add Scott REALLY likes the course from TS52 to TS53...it's his home area.

    From the looks of the course elevation side view, TS51 to 52 was still pretty choppy, with several 100-400 foot gains.

     I JUST HEARD FROM SCOTT...SOME VERY EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!!! STAY TUNED, HE IS POSTING IT FROM THE ROAD NOW!!

                                                GO JOHN!!!!!!!

JS is at least 8 minutes ahead of the next solo rider now and is at TS52 at 2:33PM!

John is gone already. He was here but moments!

15 minutes later Arvid Loewen came in.

Of too Laurel.

Fear the Turtle.

This next section should take John about 2 to 2.5 hrs. to complete, then it's just the 14 mile parade finish.

Go John Go... The Zilla Man.

in the spirit of song that we've been doing, I think this one from Jackson Browne fits pretty good right about now:

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But Im running behind

Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I dont know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, thatll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I dont know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too
