We then went to lunch were Jeff fell asleep reading the menu and intermittently throughout the meal (and entire day really). While waiting on the boardwalk for another cyclist (Oyler) to come in, Jeff took another nap and blended quite well with some of the local bums doing the same. Here's a photo of him at the finish. I hope he's awake enough to share some of his own reflections tomorrow.

Jeff and all the crew: Excellent effort. Many more people than you knew were watching the computer and cheering for you. A lifelong accomplishment. Now quit dozing in your food. And don't operate any motor vehicles......

great job everyone. Can't wait to hear all the stories when you get back to Fairbanks.

Jeff,
Great to see you cross the finish line today, Tom and I were on the phone together living your moment with you. Many congratulations to you and your awesome crew! I can't wait to hear more about your experience. Tom and I will manage your career so rest assured. How soon can we get you on Leno? What about that Regis guy? Do you prefer Letterman? The Today Show?
