Stalker and Finish Line!!
It's fun to look at where he is. Although just as I was wondering what this building is, he called! They will cross the finish line tomorrow around 1pm (3 our time). He sounds upbeat but tired. Yesterday they rode 160 miles (256 km). They are starting each morning at 3am to avoid the heat so they get to see the sunrise over the desert as they bike.

catching up on the posts
Sorry, I have to get this blog up to date!
Here is Trevor's call from Cuba
Hello, this is Trevor Browne calling from Cuba. We arrived kinda evening-ish. Had a nice big bacon cheeseburger with extra cheese and bacon just to fill us up. Been a really hard past 2 days in New Mexic.o Probably the hardest for me anyways, for the whole tour. Roads are really super bumpy, muddy, trashed, full of lava. Anything you can think of has been thrown on the trail for us, but we've got through. Weather has been kind of off and on as well. We've gone through 3 thunder and lightening storms with hail today. Yesterday, another thunderstorm. We also encountered New Mexico mud which is not so pleasant up on Bell Grande. It's almost up there with Lima mud, but we made it through. We met up with the Rainbow tribe today which os pretty interesting. We are fitting in with our nice long beards now, so didn't look too out of place. Smelled just about the same as everyone else. Other than that, we're headed up to Grant tomorrow. I think it's mostly pavement so it should be a bit faster for us. We lost Stephen back in Abecue, feeling quite sick to his stomach. Hopefully he gets better. He's taking a day of rest there, but we had to head on. Maybe in the future he will join up with us. Wish him the best, hope he gets well soon. Looks like this might be our last week Maybe in the next four or five days we'll be done. Looking forward to not wearing biking shorts anymore, and biking shoes and to wearing normal clothes for once. This is Trevor Browne signing out from Cuba. I hope everyone is well, and I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
