RUSS - After Stage 4

I understand that there are some problems with the blog - not sure how to fix them remotely, but we'll keep going and fix them in Austin. We have better (i.e., some!) cell reception tonight in Usedom. Today was my third day of keeping Claire company. We finished a long 62km (39 miles) in just over 8.5 hours - not bad on tired legs. The weather was superb, the route was essentially flat, and with only one day left life is good! Leah provided us cold beer at the finish and had provided wonderful sherpa/roadie support. We have really enjoyed having her with us on this adventure.
