Hi everybody, it's Cricket Butler.  I'm in Butte, came back rode south of Butte yesterday afternoon when I got in and felt really bad and felt the best thing to do was to go back to Butte and get some sleep and rest and good food, and I did, and I feel much better.  It's about 6 o'clock and I am heading out and getting dropped off where I got picked up yesterday.  I just wanted to thank everyone for the emails and phone calls and text messages.  It's so cool to hear from everybody um some of them are making me laugh and some are making me cry, it's just really cool to hear from home and friends and family and people that I miss and people that I have met along the way . new friends and people that have been interested in the race.  I also wanted to thank the shop here, the Outdoorsman in Butte.  They have been fantastic.  Rick and Rob took care of my bike and they have been taking care of me.  They have went above and beyond everything they should have done and they rock, so just remember that!  That's it for now.  I am going to try and get some mileage in, hopefully my legs are feeling good and um I got a little bit of sleep, yea, and hopefully no bears today!
