Tok ..say it like Toke. Eric called from here because it is about the very edge of ATT cell phone coverage. The guys had biked 67 miles so far today after biking 105 yesterday. They were glad to have a good tail wind as they were heading into Tok. Eric said they were cruising at near 20 MPH. In the morning there was a headwind. We don't really think about the wind a whole lot when riding in a big car. It looks like the next grocery store might be close to 400 miles away in Whitehorse so they stopped and loaded up. There are a few gas stations along the way that may have some snacks but nothing of any size until the capital city of Whitehorse. The next town, Beaver Creek, is 109 miles away. Last night they set up camp in the middle of the Tanana river on a sand bar. I will be watching the weather for Whitehorse and waiting for the next phone call. Thank you to Grandma Wright who says she prays each night for the safe travel of Eric and Matthew.
