As of 5:50 p.m. Eastern time, Ortenzi was just a few miles short of entering Woodson County, Kansas. The ZOE International team was at route mile 1638.2 and were 13.5 miles from the next waypoint in Yates Center, Kansas.<\/p>\n
Based on the livestream, the skies were partly cloudy with the sun poking through at times.<\/p>\n
As the team headed to Yates Center. the day crew was on its shift.<\/p>\n
In the follow van were Lori Ortenzi and Lois Martin, the riders\u2019 wives. They are following the cyclists to ensure they stay on route and are safe throughout the journey.<\/p>\n
At 5:45 p.m. former crew chief Allen Fisher was on the livestream and spoke highly of this year\u2019s crew chief, Alex Martin, who is not related to Randy.<\/p>\n
Fisher recalled a memory of Alex Martin being in the rain yet smiling throughout. He said he had no worries that Martin was doing an amazing job as this year\u2019s crew chief.<\/p>\n
The livestream continues to interview former team members, ZOE International employees and other sponsors to help raise awareness about child trafficking.<\/p>\n
