Night is falling and we're heading into Prescot with the middle/back of the solo riders. Dispite the heat only a few riders DNFed because of it. Janet Christiansen being one of them. She also was having a knee problem. Bummer. We've been harping on the crews all day to keep thier riders hydrated and cool to avoid heat problems. We're finially heading into the mountains so things should cool a bit for them, at least till we hit the plains. Then they'll probably have heat and humidity!
