Unbelievable performance Jeff. I am in awe of you.
Over the years I followed RAAM from the fringe, but never really comprehended what you guys go through until following your journey this year. What an incredible race.
I don't suppose you want to go for a ride when you come through Colorado on your way home?
Congratulations.

Way to go Jeff! :)

Way to go Jeff! Way to go crew! We are pround to know such a tough customer. The #1 American finisher; that's nothing to shake a stick at. Hopefully everyone (especially Jeff) gets a bunch of sleep and then some good pizza while in pizza country.

You finished like Cleaves and MoP in 2000.

Closed circuit to mjo: nice one on the skiles reference.

I just want to ask Luke to leave CWebb out of this. Anyway...

Finish line's in sight, go Jeff, go like Scott Skiles through the plate glass window at the Quality Dairy with a bag full of Double Dribble donuts in his lap at 2 a.m.

2007-06-21T06:18:00.000-07:00

I know it probably doesn't seem like much, but my right finger is getting rather sore pushing the "refresh" button to see when you hit that last time station. Plus, I'm late for work, but am afraid if I'm away from the screen, I'll miss something. Go Jeff!!!

Less than 100 Miles and your picking up the pace.

You're almost there Jeff and crew! We've been checking the standings fanatically tonight watching the progress. Keep on rolling. Stay awake and stay safe.

Go like Barry coasting in from the 5 yd line with Fontes smiling on the sideline.

2007-06-20T22:00:00.000-07:00

Jeff, Dreaming of the finish line is probably a bit surreal at this point. Believe me, you are almost there! Keep it up! I look forward to seeing your fancy bikes back in Boulder soon.

2007-06-20T21:56:00.000-07:00

"only" 110 miles to go. I have tears in my eyes thinking about how freaking exhausted you must be and how wonderful it will be to cross the finish line. I hope you have a huge turnout to welcome you and that you get a great massage and ....whatever food you crave- not poptarts. Great job, crewsters. You've done a great job hanging in there and being a cohesive unit and keeping Jeff safe!!
GO JEFF!!!!
