People are getting tired, going through areas with mosquitoes and ticks, can’t eat vegetables and so I’m left with lots of bread, and sun is heating things up.</p> <p>Several people couldnt finish the ride and had to be picked up and shuttled to the hostel tonight. If there was ever a time when I needed a text message of support it’s now—text me all you want! Tomorrow will probably be a 12-14 hour day.</p> <p>xoxo jorge</p>http://blog.thisisjorge.com/post/6185315319http://blog.thisisjorge.com/post/6185315319Sat, 04 Jun 2011 12:41:50 -0700<p>So close!</p>http://blog.thisisjorge.com/post/6154354351http://blog.thisisjorge.com/post/6154354351Fri, 03 Jun 2011 19:11:04 -0700<p><img alt="Hanging out with the French Folks" height="600" width="900" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2312/5794642338_77f59aaafa_b.jpg"/></p> <p><img alt="Hanging out with the French Folks" height="600" width="900" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3417/5794641686_8b81170210_b.jpg"/></p>http://blog.thisisjorge.com/post/6153293664http://blog.thisisjorge.com/post/6153293664Fri, 03 Jun 2011 14:35:11 -0700<p><iframe width="500" height="290" src="http://www.kirjastokaista.fi/embed_iframe.php?mediaid=9569&width=480&height=270" frameborder="0"></iframe></p> <p>Video from Day 4.</p>http://blog.thisisjorge.com/post/6153190347http://blog.thisisjorge.com/post/6153190347Fri, 03 Jun 2011 14:31:55 -0700<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2602/5794579198_e594fa2421_z.jpg" width="480" height="640" alt="Cycling For Library - Day 7"/></p>http://blog.thisisjorge.com/post/6151059383http://blog.thisisjorge.com/post/6151059383Fri, 03 Jun 2011 13:23:05 -0700<p>Had a pretty amazing day today—90km, lots of sun, warm enough to just be in a jersey and beautiful blue skies. </p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2139/5794086851_907282b056_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="Cycling For Library - Day 7"/></p>http://blog.thisisjorge.com/post/6150903287http://blog.thisisjorge.com/post/6150903287Fri, 03 Jun 2011 13:17:48 -0700<p>This morning before we set out on our ride we were told to be on our best behavior when we arrived in Germany because there would be lots of media there.
