Comments from Gabriel

Well today was another unreal day or should I say in-human!!! There were hills, hills, hills and more hills!

And not little ones. Some had grade inclines of 8-15%. Many of the riders did walk it, but Patricia made them all slow and easy.

Of course I did not see her for the last 24 miles as on route to the motel in the van I thought the hills would not be bad but then again more!!

I was praying as I could not help support her and I was hoping they would not sag her as she was the last one in to the motel. I've said it before and I will say it again, she is one super woman!

I have no idea where she gets it from. She needs to teach it to all of us.   We had our banquet tonight and it was cool. This was our final farewell to each other and what a nice evening it was. Some put on small skits or sang.  Patricia and several others did a great little song.

Well, listen to The Barron show as we will be on live to give our final farewell. Then, PATRICIA IS OFF TO THE FINISH LINE!! 

We will soon come to realize that we are a long away from home, with no transportation,  or personal things. Maybe we can swim home.

Keep your ears on the Barron, your eyes on John Palmenteri at KEYT news and possible articles in the SBNP by Charlotte Bochler  Writer for the LIFE section as well as Barney Brantaham for the finish details and Story Tomorrow evening will also be our last great update on this unreal ride.

Out for now as we must get up at 5:00 am. The riders need to do 60 miles by 11:00 to meet the police for escort. to the ocean.

Until the big day tomorrow ...

Good night,

Gabriel.
