The fact that Patrick hasn't called in, and his family and friends have not been posting on the forum, makes him a great mystery man for us arm-chair enthusiasts:) He is steadily moving forward at a good clip. Based on his arrival time in Steamboat, I think he's averaging ~95 miles per day. I imagine that he is doing exactly what every racer strives to do -- to stay focused, make good decisions, put forth his best effort, cope with a stream of unexpected obstacles, and have a good time along the way.
Today he breezed through Steamboat without spending enough time for much, if any, work at the bike shop. He and his gear must be holding up well.
I'm eager to watch him roll all the way to the border.
Go Patrick!
