Over 24 hours down!

This incredible race continues with over 27 hours down! Dr. Botha has finished 325 miles so far and the pace is slowing thanks to some intense uphill terrain. Last night brought an impressive lightening storm to the area and left the roads in a bit of a mess for the riders first thing this morning.

I have just received word that Dr. Botha is way ahead of his previous times and that he is doing incredibly well! This is very exciting news!

The messages of support on this blog and on Facebook are being relayed to him and they are keeping him encouraged and working hard. Please keep sending them even if you have sent one already! They are needed.

I found some more pics on the website. These are courtesy of Chris Kostman and the 508 website. Go Dr. Botha!
