Gary is approaching Durango!

(John Henry Maurice) Gary has ridden through the night and is approach Durango!  He is just a few miles from the finish!

(Crew chief update)
The wheels had just about come off our train.  We were doing everything we could to get Gary to the finish line. He said he couldn't see the road ahead, yet would ask for lane guidance on options that were still 300 yds out.  He swore he was falling asleep.  He said it wasn't safe to ride and needed a rest.  We did not have the luxury of time to allow a rest.  Gary's brain was working overtime in trying to find a way to stop pedaling. For the last few hours we had found that a mix of a caffeine tablet, an 8 hour energy drink, and Boost (meal replacement) was our best bet at keeping him pedaling. Even that souped up mix was beginning to fail.  We had about a mile left on this last climb, then would descend the rest of the way to the finish. We told him if he couldn't ride he would have to walk, he protested, but walk he did.
