    I figure good riddence Africa. If they don't want the race, it can go back to the square wheel.

    Baker,
    OLN coverage starts tomorrow.
    They are heading down to Puerto Madryn on the coast.
    I have ridden through that area and it will be more dusty fast agricultural roads leading to Evil, grabby, sandy gravel near the coast.
    I think there will be more tire issues and that gravel will surely slow the bikes down.
    Don Hatton #116 from Vancouver Island finished 116th today.:clap :clap :clap

    I wonder if they will ride by the penguin colony just south of Puerto Madryn? Thats something you would never see in the Africa Dakar.:rofl

    Just watched the first episode, started today on oln, they are one day behind with their footage so today was yesterdays footage. Wish it was longer than a half hour but still stoked for the footage.
