The crew has changed yet again. Goose has left for hearth and home and Weeble has taken his place. Mav is still running strong. Since leaving Hydro, the Mother Road has continued due east, but I-40 has curved away to the south a little, so Team Piraña is in the country in the dark. They […]

Mav & T3 are keeping it within themselves, playing the game and making it through. All, at or near that 35 mile “struggle zone” but pushing on. Samsonite is keeping his 9:00 pace and working on a great race, currently in 2nd place. Five and half hours in he is currently at 38 miles. Go […]
