Just so you know, all comments posted on the blog are automatically emailed to the follow vehicle for Arvid. In other words - if you want to get a message to him, that's probably the fastest and best way.

9pm

While the rest of the world eats, sleeps, and relaxes (or maybe even works), they still bike. It's remarkable what the human body is capable of. At 8:04pm (12 hours), Arvid had completed 367km. Since that time, he has completed 2 laps, bringing his mileage up to 389.4km. Not a bad tally for only 13 hours!

He drank a Boost last lap, and is feeling fine. Given that it's cold outside, he stopped to put on a dry-fit undershirt a short while ago. He hasn't eaten a ton of solid food, but is instead relying on the powder mix he drinks and the food he brought along in the cooler. 

CMU is, like Arvid's crew, hunkered down in their vehicle and only making an appearance when it's their turn to ride. It's cold outside - and it's obviously dampening the fun that can be had during events like these. They were joined by 4th teammate Kevin Kilbrie around 4pm, so he's putting in his mileage now.

WOW ... very impressive! Arvid's a machine!!

How's the Team CMU relay gang doing right now in the dark? As in the "Dark Side" should be excelling right now ... not sure about KK though ;-)

Was hoping to come out and cheer you all on, but alas - no go. Good luck to you all through the night.
