End of Day Three and All is Well

I have word that the team made it in to Aguas Calientes around 4:00 this afternoon and other a few flat tires they had a really good trip. It was a gorgeous day and although it was quite windy, it was mostly a tail wind and at times they were doing 38km/h without over-exerting themselves. They are working on getting an internet connection to send the days pics and I will post them as soon as they arrive.
Mario is planning on taking a bus this evening to meet them before they leave in the morning. More on that as it develops.

UPDATE:
So here are the guys starting the morning with the Brazilian national anthem.


Rest stop along the way.


In the end they opted for the bicycles.








Tomorrow they have their first 200+ km day so the plan is to leave as early as 5:00 am to make sure they have enough day light to complete the leg. The support van will run behind them until sunrise. Here is what it looks like on the map.
