Kevin and Chelsea crushing it

April 27, 2010 (words via text from Kevin Yolken)

Today is a forced rest day, thunderstorms and heavy rain.  We are ninety miles from the California border, last night the town we are in literally flooded. The streets were rivers, it rained hard on us yesterday and the wind was forty miles an hour head wind. We were going eight miles an hour downhill and if we stopped pedaling, we were blown backwards. The day before was ninety five mile day though (yeah guys!!!!!). Personal record for both of us, the worst of this storm is supposed to pass today so hopefully we can reach California tomorrow.

We are 564 miles in, with 1100 to go, it is Day nine. Now, you can’t beat tonight! Normally when you gamble and win money they comp you a hotel room. Well, this casino had their hotel under construction so instead they offered us some grass to pitch our tent in so we didn’t ride our bikes a half mile to the campsite after drinking. Great night already

Keep charging guys, you guys are doing great things and the people of High Fives love it!
