Okay, so we've been tossing around the idea of mohawks for a week or so now, and yesterday in Gordon, Nebraska, we finally got around to it. We'd ridden for 8 hours from Valentine, NE; we left at 4:30 AM Central Time to avoid the heat and we crossed into Mountain Time Zone about 30 miles in to the 94 mile day. Most of us finished the near-century before noon, leaving ample time to appreciate the two businesses open on Sunday: a gas station and a grocery store. We all swam in the public pool, and then when we got back from the pool decided to follow through on the mohawk option. Each looks different: Logan looks very 80's rocker, Derrick 90's club-goer. Nate's pulling off the emo look very well, and Amelia looks like a badass biker chick. Greg looks like he's always had one. And, as you can see, I'm rocking the "real" fauxhawk. I think we were all inspired by the extremity of our 600-mile week, and exhilarated by the prospect of a 46-mile ride into Chadron, NE the next day. I know I was ready to let off some of the anxiety built up from the week of 90+ degree weather and intense distances.
I'll include a more detailed before/after series, but the internet here in the Chadron Public Library is painfully slow. Here's a shot for the ages, though...
Top Row (L-R): Me, Greg, Nate, Logan. Bottom: Derrick, Amelia.
Gnarly. Later.

love, your MOTHER
Hey Logan, We love the hair! Is that a tattoo (please no!!) or a nasty scar on your arm?!
Have fun! Aunt Pat and Will
fauxhawk? lol.
Hi Sam...howabout dyeing it to match your jersey?
Seriously, it's been fun keeping up with you(without the pain, exhaustion, chafing etc), and watching the Tour de France riders suffer through the French alps last night I could only think of the next leg of your trip.
We'll be thinking of you!
Love, Aunt Lea.
