Thanks, Tiberio, for your offer of assistance.  

Unfortunately, you have some incorrect information.  The rules DO explicitly state that we must pass through either Cartagena or Baranquilla. Some of the riders who have done this trek have skipped that part, effectively not completing the required route as laid out in the Guinness guidelines.  It is not sufficient to merely cross all meridians.

We have arranged for a chartered flight to take us from Cartagena to Panama on the 22nd, despite our slow start we are .still on time and on schedule for making it across.  If we can make very good time in Chile and Peru we may even have a day to relax on the beach in Cartagena.

Thank you for your very kind offer of assistance.  We look forward to meeting you at the Ecuador border, and taking advantage of your local knowledge of roads, routes and accommodations in Colombia together with any other assistance you could offer at that point.

Thanks,
Ryan Noble
