*Report from the road - 6-10-2008, 9:45AM EDT*

Rob took his first sleep break last night just after Time Station 8 in Flagstaff. It was a brutal day of climbing and he has more of it today. Reports from the crew is that he is feeling good and climbing strong.

He will be traveling through the Navajo and Hopi nations today.

GOOD NEWS: Team Captain Mike Perron fixed both the stereo and the PA system. Daytime driver John Browne voted Mike "Team MVP of the Day." Let the sounds of Black Sabbath and The Beastie Boys ring forth across the land!

Here are a couple of photos from yesterday's climbs and one from this morning after Rob woke up and prepared for another day in the saddle:

"Hey, this really IS a cool bike."

Daytime navigator Tom Wendel: "May I take your breakfast order, sir?"
Rob: "I'll have a cold Spiz, followed by another one every hour until the end of time."
