Greg and Trish Dimmit are from Washington State and stay together whether they want to or not. They're on a tandem! Tandems can really get speed up on downhills and flat stretches but are much tougher on hills. Given the requirement for teamwork, you really have to have two people who are in synch, and the Dimmits are delightful in that regard. Greg is a commercial refrigeration salesman, and Trish is a flight attendant for Alaska Airlines. I met their two daughters on the day we left Seattle.
Brian O'Sullivan (left) and Phil Williams have been friends for thirty years and ride together most days. They both have dry senses of humor and are a lot of fun. Phil and Bill Harm spent some time talking in Billings and found they have lots in common. Phil is an ecologist with NOAA working with endangered species. Brian used to work at Sound Transit with Marty Minkoff, and a quick survey of those of us sitting around indicates that he's now a consultant. Great life!!!
The two handsome fellows above are Jay Carlson (left) and Nick Fels (right). Their numbers are 5 and 10, and at most bbbbbevery water stop they come in together. They've known each other for decades and both work as attorneys in DC - Nick with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and Jay with a firm doing mostly corporate work. (Over Nick's shoulder you'll see the box truck that the gear and food is hauled in. Pollie, the Ride Director has to drive it.)

Thanks for the photos of Jay and Nick. They look very seasoned. Lyn
I second Lyn's thanks for the photos of our significant others.
One correction -- Nick did do federal energy regulatory work, but he worked at a private firm in DC, not as a US government employee.
He is now semi-retired, in time to take the Big Ride. Best wishes to you all for tailwinds and happy trails. Susan
