Update #7 Good News (by: Heather)

I have a couple new pieces of information...

First, Andy is doing really well. There are only 2 guys ahead of him. One is a guy on a recumbant and the other is another soloist upright. The guy on the recumbant is 3 hours ahead of Andy and the other solo upright is only an hour ahead of Andy.

Second, the upright soloist has already qualified for RAAM (Race Across America) and the recumbant is not in Andy's "category." So by power of deduction...Andy currently is in position to qualify for RAAM. :)))

All of this information is official. The HOS race officials were the ones that told Mick and Geno about who exactly was in front of Andy. And they just went though the fourth check point and found out how far ahead the other two riders were.

Fourth check point: Mile 304 at 4:22 pm

So far so good on the rain situation. The crew is not discussing how it is not raining at this point. They are worried they are going to jinx themselves if they say anything about the weather.

I am signing off for now. I should have another post in a couple of hours.
