Tiffany #1975 (6/15/08 2:12PM): Shawn, So funny how we connected on the ride as you were staring at my butt....on the road behind me:)Finally got a chance to read your blog and loved it. Hope we can get out for a ride this year and I can tap into your 1300 miles you put in last year. I, however, can't touch that but at least draft a little....opps did I say that? Check out the video from closing ceremonies....it has a zoomed in picture of Bionca and I that was hanging from my bike. She is the one you mentioned in your blog and will ride with my in 2010. Cheers to one more year of "fighting back". Tiffany
Jason, Chris, and Charlie (6/08/08 9:26AM): Hey there Shawn,
First...... WE ARE SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU, MISTER
I know this message is after Day 7, but just wanted to send this to make sure you're still holding up strong. We are proud of you. Can't wait to register for next year. Can't wait to try to keep up to you on the road. Checking the registration online everyday.
Anyhow....hope you're having a good time on Day-after-Day 7. Always tended to be the most peaceful day for me. Nothing really matters, because you know what you've just accomplished and you're still in the "just drank the juice" bubble.
Have a great day. Love, Jason, Chris, and Charlie xoxoxo

XOXO, Julie
