No updates until the riders arrive in Corpus this afternoon. They camped out along the Intercoastal last night. I received a call from them this morning but the cell service was not good enough to have a conversation.
Hopefully we will have pictures, gps tracks and wildly exaggerated stories from the team later today as they make their triumphant return to civilization. Is Corpus civilized?

The riders made it to the Lola launch in Corpus today after 3 days of riding. All 5 were able to ride the entire length of the intercoastal from SPI with only a couple minor gear failures today. They had a great time and indicated that they encountered some amazing riding spots that they wish they could have explored further. Today they were on 6s & 7s.
Here are the GPS tracks for the past two days. Best viewed in Earth mode.
