I have been getting regular reports from people about the tracking device installed on my bike. They have gone to the website to track the progress being made as I head east towards Dallas and beyond.
I am currently in Tucson at the Wycliffe Center located here. I am taking a couple of days off from riding and hope to rejoin the group soon. Doug has gone on ahead with the rest of the cyclists. A Wycliffe colleague has agreed to drive me to join them in a couple of days.
There is an issue with the tracking device, however. It is consuming batteries faster than what I anticipated. In addition to that, it reports its position via cellular towers frequently, about every 10 minutes or so, making the reporting side the equation quite expensive, about $5-$7 per day. I have asked the tracking device company to slow the reporting period down somewhat, to save both battery life as well as the actual cost of reporting. In a few days I will re-evaluate the situation and make a decision about the tracking device. Thanks for understanding.
