Day 3 (November 16th) Ride from Tulum 97 km. to Felipe Carrillo Puerto (this should take roughly 5 .5 hours).I don't think there is any camping near Felipe Carrillo Puerto so we may need to find a cheap hotel or camp stealthily in the forest somewhere as it is way off the beach.

There was a small error in the updated itinerary...

The team will be saying good by to Ryan and Jen on Caye Caulker and not in San Pedro as they will have to take the water taxi from there to Belize City to catch their flight to Seattle. The rest of the team will take the water taxi to San Pedro and then on to Corozal.
