Congratulations you four!
What a fantastic accomplishment to ride that far up those big hills, dealing with punctures, rough trails, rain, cold and heat! The scenery from the pictures was magnificent. So happy to have met you all. Maybe we will meet again if we visit Australia! Your friends Mike and Sandra.

Mike (and Sandra), the pleasure was all ours! Really, the hospitality and helpfulness shown by so many people on our trip has been a real highlight. If you ever get to Melbourne please let me know, The Amigos would love to return the hospitality shown.

Thanks Yama. The trail is behind us now, and in front is the Rocky Mountains, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Tattoo. Hell yeah!
Such an awesome idea. Here's some ideas. 1. Cog with usa map in the middle and 3000k 2017 in the middle of that. 2. A cog shaped like map of usa. With stuff in middle. 3. The classic. Right across your back . Or front. Bald Eagle on a bike being shagged by Skippy... Classic! BTW. Aussie Mates Riding Across AMerica. AMRAAM. fuck yeah. Hoo Yah! ?

Blog
Living the dream Mark. Actually it's my new dream. Love the blog, love the pics, love what you're doing. No tattoos!!! Get a plaque, a trophy, a signed caricature, or a t-shirt. No ink!!

Strava
OK you lot - I am Dave's sister-in-law. I am green with envy over this trip of yours. I know all Aussies are on Strava but are any of you. If so I would love to send you a follower request for the duration of your trip. Be really interesting to see what you are contending with. Also Dave - Anne has been posting some of your photos on Facebook. there are some really great shots there.

Hi Francis, glad you're enjoying the blog. I and Jeff (Hilder) are on Strava, Tom isn't. Not sure about Dave.

you can do it !
Hi Amigos, Found your blog. You can do it ! Enjoyed reading and wishing you all good luck and smooth riding. PS. I will be in the USA soon, but unfortunately, looks like will miss you. Not sure if you are heading through Denver although that will be cooler riding for you than the southern route possibly and Grand Junction to Denver route I heard is spectacular. We'll be in an automobile, (how easy is that?) and we'll be in Vail around 4th July and Denver abouts up until 7th July (then we fly to New York). Do you have any idea what date you are scheduled to arrive in Baltimore? We expect you will all be in Tour De France shape by that stage. :-) Keep up the good work and blogging. Best Regards John Scanlon

Hi John, we're leaving Colorado tomorrow and continuing through Kansas. Might get to Baltimore on the 8th or 9th of July. Or Washington. Our plans are gelatinous.

Mistaken identity
Hi Mark, are you sure those birds were eagles and not vultures waiting for meals on wheels. Stay safe. Mick and Carm

Stevie Wonder
I guess having Ray Charles as the navigator, is better than Stevie Wonder as the pilot.

Wrong turns
How many is that altogether? Goodness you haven't even started yet..............

Go Amigos!
Wow, what a packed few days you've all had! Sounds like it might be good to get out of the city, let that jet lag go and start to enjoy the ride!! Never too old to polish up your patience and friendship skills! So cool that you old friends are experiencing this adventure together! Thanks for the blog Mark, it's great! Anne, Berry and Red

The More Scenic (better) Alternative.
Think your making a big mistake. Should turn left at Albuquerque and head up to Canada. Lots more nice hills. In fact you could make it a West Coast Circuit by cutting back to Portland once you hit the border then down to LA. Run Forest Run!
