Well they are down to the last day. It has been a long haul but the end is in sight. They did 115 km today and ended the day loading their bikes onto the van and driving through/around the city of Sao Paulo. They are about 30 km out from their final destination and we have a team on the ground here waiting to receive them. It should be before noon that they get in and I will upload the victory post as soon as I can after that. Today they spend lots of time fixing flats which shows that even the bikes are ready to reach the finish line. Here are some highlinght from today.
An accident on the highway. Notice the fog cover.
This was an all to common activity today.
Again

Futbol fever has set in...

Load em up.
Entering the big city.
Tomorrow marks the 14th and final day of this journey. We await the big celebration. Thats all for now, come back tomorrow for the finale!
In the first picture actually it was a protest marching along the highway. So we road past on the opposite side of the road. They were cheering for us while they protested the world cup.
