Thanks to the hospitality of Susan Snow (photo #1), she said that whatever Team Galaxy wants at time station #6 in Congress, Arizona for 2011 RAAM, to just let her know! She and her husband are part of the local time station staff and their stop was by far the most fun and festive. A fellow long distance cyclist, she is planning a 1,000KM bike race in a couple of weeks so she understands endurance cycling. She said there is a big climb just past time station #6 (which there is) and she wants to put people on the hill cheering and supporting the cyclists (photo #2). She said she'd even do naked men if that would help us. I truly believe she'd hook us up if that's what we wanted!
We are winding down day two and the teams have been fantastic, fun, and just a blast to be around. We just drove through time station #9 in Flagstaff and heading to TS #10 in Tuba City, AZ. Probably try to grab dinner en route but not much here but beautiful vanilla sky and landscape at 6,000 feet of elevation as we enter Cononino National Park (photo #3). Not sure where/when we are sleeping. There is talk of hotel and also revisiting "van camping" again. I'm starting to want a shower :-)
