This guy used to race off-road with Malcolm. He hadn't seen Malcolm in 15-20 years, but heard he was coming through so he brought his wife and son to meet him.

I'd gone through all of the '98 ride with no flats and got to within about 50 miles of the finish of the '99 ride before it struck.

Found two nails in my rear tire. The slime had sealed the first one. I had no idea how long I'd been riding on it.

Victory! Here I am in front of the Finistera, our hotel in Cabo San Lucas. It's as far South as you can ride, drive or walk on the Baja peninsula.
