Three English Gentlemen

Actually they insisted on paying for the pizza. We decided not to argue with them.

Is there anyway to follow their progress? TE gals can't promise pizza and beer each night but it'd be nice to know how they're doing.

They didn't say anything about having a blog anywhere. They are sticking to the Adventure Cycling route and plan to average 52.5 miles a day.

When I get cards I'll be sure to tell you all.

I know because I asked Dave if I could contribute through one.

We were driving back from Moab on Saturday the 23rd and found them on Highway 50 just as they were starting the last long grade before Ely, Nevada, climbing on their fully loaded Dawes, including fenders. We gave them all the liquid and ice we had in the Bike Bus. It was about 7,000 ft elevation at that point but the worst was the heat (it was getting late in the day) and the road had just been re-chipsealed and oiled. The surface was black and slick, just nasty.

Dave said they'd done all their fundraising and now wanted to just ride. All three of them are from the Midlands of the UK but I haven't been able to find more by simple googling. They remembered Steady Eddy's in Winters, favorite hangout of many a TE'er.

Just when you're feeling strong and fit, you come across a group like this. Wow. They didn't choose the easiest route across.

It's kind of scary to think of them riding and not having any food though.. I'd expect guys that age to have those sorts of things covered. Lucky for them, they ran into you!

[Veronica]

Awesome! We'd been wondering where they were! That's just wild that you ran into them too.

All together now: "It's a small world after all! It's a small world after all! It's a small world after all! It's a small, small world..."
