Afternoon!

Alright, so another quick update (don't worry, we'll be out at the park soon and have pictures again). Arvid's last two laps were 22:51 and 22:56. Odds are they will hover around between 22 and 24 over the next 8-10 hours. There will be the occasional lap which is suddenly longer, usually because of a bathroom or food stop. When he did his personal best of 711km, he was only off the bike for 3 minutes in 24 hours. Quite an achievement. This 24-hour will probably not be like that. 

Arvid is feeling good. You can track him on the Home page. He's been drinking his sustained energy drink, goji juice, and has been through just tiny sprinkles of rain. When the clouds cover, it's cold - when they're gone, it's warm. It makes it difficult to know what type of clothing to wear. 

Team CMU is currently only three riders. Their fourth will join at 4pm and their fifth is away this weekend. That fifth is professor John B. (I don't know how to spell his last name so I won't try), and apparently he's never been to the mountains before. So July will be a little bit of a wakeup call. Either he'll hate them or love them, says Craig. CMU is also slowing down in their times. Chris Huebner commented that his last lap was 2km/h slower than the previous (about 1m15s). Stay tuned for more updates!
