May 26th - Technical Difficulties

Scot here again. This afternoon I recieved a phone call from Cassandra, asking me to make a quick post to explain to everyone why we haven't heard from the THF Coast to Coast team for a couple days: their laptop appears to have fried it's brain. According to tech support the new parts have been express-shipped to intercept the team by Tuesday (Murphy's law dictates these crises happen over holiday weekends). If all goes according to plan we should begin seeing posts from Cassandra, Dick & Bill by the end of this coming week.
As for the riding, the team is making good progress. After a couple grueling days fighting a strong headwind, their luck did a 180 and they have since enjoyed an almost equally strong tailwind. Today the team covered 117 miles from Chaimberlain to Pickstown, SD. While encouraged by their progress, all are nevertheless looking forward to a rest day coming soon.
Until the team regains their internet access, updates will be sporadic at best - and no pictures, sorry. Hang tough. Stay tuned. And if you know any prayers that work for computers, start saying them now.
