Update #2

Well, it's 8:30 Iowa time and Chris just called me from a gas station parking lot. He seems to be doing really well -- he was scarfing down some chicken and gatorade. He said that he's riding with some other guys (one of whom is another single speeder) and that they have about 120 miles left. He sounded really upbeat and ready to keep riding. He said that he and the other ss'er that he's with are currently placed 2nd and 3rd in single speed category so I think he's happy with that. If anyone can knock out another 120 miles ("only" 120 miles in Plesko verbage), it's him. He's still truckin!
