Mike S (6/05/08 11:41AM): Hey Brian me again...by now that dress you've been wearing is a big mess!!! Good mess Im sure tho' Party down for me tonight...should have planned my work week out better because I was in Paso Robles, Salinas just last week. I could have been out here to cheer you guys on...oh well work dictates the travel days I guess. Ill be thinking about you as you get closer to the finish line. I hear you are a stong rider...you'll have to give me pointers from one "older but sexy" guy to another on how in the hell you do it. You know there's a trance song out about wearing a dress...something like..."wear that dress, the one that you wore, the one that I adore...probably have to hear it huh? Take care!
Mike S. (6/05/08 8:29AM): Brian!!! Bud!!! By the time you read this you should be home. So why werent you in the pic with Chris and the gang with your red dress? Needed a little extra time getting all dolled up didnt you?? You guys undoubtedly had a blast today...there was a dance too, right? Guess you know that the event is getting close to finishing. Guess you are happy and sad at the same time. I told Chris that Im envious of how much fun you guys are having. Well keep up the good work and I'll see you on the beach in Ventura. Keep an eye out for me or Ill never find you guys. Take care on the rest of the ride, ok?
Mike Stafford (6/04/08 6:34PM): BRIAN!!! Your're over half way home!!! Congrats on another successful ride. Hope you had a trouble-free ride and that you had another fun day in the California sun! Sorry I missed your call...I was chasing an armadillo (really!) out of my landscaping and didnt realize you had called until I got back in the house. Im sure you are jazzed about tomorrow. I know it is your shortest day and I know its wear the red dress day...looking forward to seeing pics of you in a dress!!! Im sure its FAAABBBUUULLLOOUUSSS! Have another safe day tomorrow. Ive decided to join in with you on Friday night in Ventura so if you would like for me to bring you any thing let me know. Im officailly a Californian again since Im not back in Salinas so we are on the same time zone. Have a great night...be safe and I'll see you soon! Keep up the good work!
Mike Stafford (6/04/08 5:56AM): Yeah Brian!!! Youve crossed the half way mark today. Yeah!! What an amazing milestone for you.

I can wait to hear the stories about your experiences and the great times that youve had. Hope you are doing well physically too...be safe and continue to roll on down the highway!!! See you soon...

I'm so sorry I've been out of touch. Lots to tell you (later), but today is about YOU.
I hope you have a great ride today! You can do this--it's a piece of cake after all the training you did!
I'm sure you're having lots of fun.
I wish you all the best and I look forward to catching up with you and filling you in with what's been going on in my life when you get back home. (I'll give you my new address then too)
Your friend, Carlos

I wanted to let you know how proud I am of you for the commitment that you have made and that you are inspiring me to do the ride next year. From one 50 yr old to another...I think it is a great accomplishment what you are doing and you should be proud. Chris says that you are doing GREAT!!! I bet you are having a great time and I wish you luck for the rest of the ride. Again please be safe and I'll see you Friday night and at the finish line! Have a great day tomorrow too!!!
