Yes, all of the gear fit in the Penske trucks. Pretty much everyone had all their gear on the trucks. We only saw 2 or 3 that carried gear on their bikes. I think it was 25% of the riders had ridden this tour more than once. The support was a really well oiled machine that worked well. They have done it enough times to get it all down pat! They were great!

The number of tents still amazes me. The migration of an entire community by bike. I guess all of the tents and bags fit in the 3 Penske trucks. I'm guessing some carried their own tents and bags on bikes but don't know for sure. I wonder how many have biked this trip more than once.

I like this view of the river.

Multimodal! Love this pic. Says so much.

Amazing tent city.

It really is fascinating.

It really has been good, good trails, interesting history to learn about, nice people, good scenery. The local communities have been extremely welcoming. What more could you ask?

Really looks like a great ride.

Really impressive to see how these locks operate.

Well, we’ve had some hills but working too hard to take hill pictures!

After the evening rain the weather moved in through. We had puddles in the tent and wet clothes but the sleeping bags stayed dry.

Sorry you encountered this nasty weather. I hope you made it through the night.

Thanks for keeping your fans updated. It looks like a flat ride so far.
