As Dave said, the Gila is stunning.

I see that one of the other UK lads, Dan Green has finished. Top ride.

'Just' a few hundred miles to go

Have banana will travel

He's closing in on pie town, which pie will he go for?

Back further down the trail Chris Ellison has fought his way in front of the broom waggon

Go Chris

Go Steve

Stuck on the road to pie town. Peanut butter mud.

Looks like Ana and Colin just got through but it's got me.....

sub standard luck Steve but hopefully a bit of sun and it will all dry up. It happens quickly, have a fecking good swear and keep going.

Pie Town was closed when I got there. I kipped in the campground then next morning rode past the Toaster House that I didn't spot the previous evening. I'll have to go back and do it properly.

Looks like Steve made it to the pies - good going buddy. Lots of closely spaced dots on the approach though...

Looking forward to seeing Steve get it done. Not long now

Steve's up early for a push on to Silver City. I have no idea what the route on this re-route section is like and whether he is still fighting the mud. Hopefully onto some pavement soon for a bit of respite.

Looks like he's approaching the top of the last big climb, with a lengthy descent to follow. If he catches Ana Jager he'll be in 12th place

About 200 miles or so to go

Hopefully he’ll finish tomorrow in under 20 days a cracking result!

Done that and about to take Colin Schindler

Sat in Glen wood with Ana and Colin. I'm happy for youth to take priority, however I do want to stay ahead of those singlespeeders behind.......

New mech hanger this morning as the mud got me again. At least I had a dry night stopping early, unlike Ana and Colin

Amazing!

go Steve...

Just go straight to McDonalds and onto the border. Don’t do what I did and nearly get arrested by cops with guns for procuring a lady of the night.

Looks like he hit Silver City 10 mins ago so 4am ish our time, 9pmish theirs

And blown through. He's on the march for the finish line. Go Steve!

About 100km to go - incredibly effort and the end is in sight
Go Steve Go

Raaargh, that's hardcore. Go Steve!

Wow, I don't know Steve at all, but superb ride! I'll join the chorus: Go Steve!
