Update Out of Blanchester, OH

Early this morning around 12:30 am as we rolled out of Blanchester, OH,
Kevin was fighting hard to keep moving. He said that he felt as if he had
no power. He slept for about 6 hours total in three stops between
Blanchester, OH and Chillicothe, OH. Once the daylight hit, Kevin
courageously got back on the bike and started turning the peddles over. He
was struggling. Slowly he made mile after mile. About 7 miles out of
Chillicothe, he wanted to stop again. We pulled off of the road and he laid
down and put his feet up on a cooler. Things were not looking good. After
about 10 minutes, he told us that he felt like he was disappointing us.
Imagine that, this man had ridden his bicycle dang near 2500 miles, and he
was worried about us. At that point, Troy, Bejan, and myself each told him
that we were not disappointed in him, rather the opposite. We told Kevin
that no matter what, we loved him, and that we were there for him. We told
him that we signed on with him till the end, and that we were going to see
him thru this whole ordeal. What happened next was the greatest example of
determination that I have ever witnessed. Kevin hopped on the bicycle, and
he commenced to turn the peddles over once again. However, he seemed to
have a little bit more giddy up in his pace, and the look of determination
as we continued to provide him leap frog support on the tight, twisty road
into and out of Chillicothe. We stayed with Kevin until Londonderry, OH
where Roger and Danny took over for the long haul into Athens, OH and them
West Virginia. We do not know how this will end, but I do know that this
has been one amazing Journey to be a part of, and that Kevin is one heck of
a cyclist, and an awesome person.
