- And then, as we know, he got himself to Deming, NM but not clear whether he started from Phoenix or somewhere else

So maybe he's ridden 450 to 500 miles by far under his own power. A lot more than I've ridden the last two weeks!

Would be great to see him skip ahead via train to New Orleans to give himself a shot at making DC by Jan. 20.
