3rd day recap

Day three of the ride, not as sore as I thought I'd be. It's been an incredible trip. Speeding down (relatively speaking) the highway and offroad muddy trail to the Dead Sea, watching desert changing to rolling green hills, riding through poppy fiels, cilantro fields`and the Jordan river (my wet shoes can verify that), we've travelled more than 200 km on our own steam. Today we rode along the Jordanian border on a path usually used only by the military, and some of our riders may have left some tracks that might be perceived as runaway Jordanians. We'll see how that goes over. Also, a note of advice for the future rider. If you start to get really tired all of a sudden and it only gets worse, before you assume that you're sick, check your tire - I rode on a flat for more than an hour today. That was tons of fun. Overall though, I'm impressed with everyone on this trip, as we have all accomplished something incredible, and hopefully, we will continue to do so tomorrow with our ride up a cliff and several mountains beyond.
