WOW!!! You guys are almost there...basically a couple of century rides, eh? SO, SO, SO proud of you all. You guys are TOUGH! AND, of course, amazing job,crew!

Keep on keepin on guys, TSH Rocks!!
One damn fine team you have there, support and all the riders.
It won't be long now, you'll all be swimming in the Atlantic Ocean real soon, a well deserved dip....
Luck is with you, your feet have wings.
Mercury was the Greek God of swift travel and trade he was aligned with the God Hermes which mythogy states was the Messenger of the Gods. He is also the patron of boundaries and of the travelers who cross them.
So TSH has both Gods on their side....your feet have wings from Mercury and you are protected as you travel by Hermes.
With a pair like that, there is absolutely no stopping you all.
Following your progress daily, hope you are all well and reach your goal safe and sound and quickly!

Goodness; keep it up! You had me looking at airfares to Baltimore again this morning, and my wife slapped the credit card out of my hands.
Someone in the know explain the 50 minute credit sometime soon! I want the details!
