I was honored to ride along and play leapfrog with them for many, many hours. I had the idea that I would try to finish with them, but once that evil "you're done" switch popped in my head, I just couldn't pedal any more.<br /><br />I remember trying to find a group to fall in with after I left my buddy Pell near Gladbrook. I came up to Scott and Crystal and asked, "Are you pedaling to finish this?" Scott replied, "Oh, yeah. For sure." Dang, he was right.<br /><br />I'll certainly carry the sentiment of this write-up with me on all future endeavors.

The driveway on the left in your picture of Scott is where it happened, and Crystal came rolling down that hill about 5 minutes later. You didn't have to come check on us, but you did, and I thank you for that too. The three of us rode a lot of miles together off and on throughout the race and I'm proud to say I know them both.Jon VanDishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763275933973809765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-55008701444393777122016-04-28T08:17:54.409-05:002016-04-28T08:17:54.409-05:00These are great updates, Ted!

John VanDis is one of the calmest, nicest guys I know. I didn't have chance to meet Crystal before the race this year, but I'll take a chance and assume she's equal parts tough and nice. I never saw her without a smile on her face. Kudos to all three of them for sticking it out in less than optimal conditions.S.Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04308484314231606505noreply@blogger.com
