I just sent a message off to Dave, he is the cyclist who stayed at our house last March. He has reached Peru on his bicycle and may have seen him
along the way. I will let you know when I hear from him.Kell-Baja - 10-16-2008 at 04:51 PM
Don't have info but I am hoping for his safe return.bajaboolie - 10-16-2008 at 08:12 PM
Could you update us on any information you hear about?Mango - 10-16-2008 at 10:54 PM
Just to clarify..
South to North... was his ride just in Baja or possibly the mainland?
Thanks for the info and keep us posted.
Also.. where was the last known contact that he had with his family?
rhintransit.. I know you might not have these answers; but, if you are able find out from someone or see more information on the other forum and post
it here, it will greatly help us in the search.lingililingili - 10-18-2008 at 08:16 AM

This is the email I received from our cyclist friend.
"I havenīt heard of him, but I am in the right place to ask. I am in Trujillo, again, waiting for some parts at the Casa de Ciclistas. I can look in
the logbook and see if he came through here. Do you have any other info about him, route, website, last location, etc? The last couple weeks there
have been some serious issues going on in the highlands of Peru, I hope he wasnīt near there."
Hope he turns up safe and well.
Don't really know your cyclists time frame, but I hope this helps.rhintransit - 10-20-2008 at 09:19 AM

I signed up after reading your posts here regarding warmshowers.org and your experience with your cyclist. I am in Blythe and have hosted twice now
with both parties originating their rides from the San Diego area, heading east on the lower tier. I'm not clear which direction this rider is going
and doubt I would encounter him, but there is quite of bit of info on the showers site and might be a source for locating him.rhintransit - 10-22-2008 at 03:44 AM

Thanks for the update. It sounds like we should be looking north of Guerrero Negro.
I could also assume that he may have never made it to the next watering hole with internet... which might have been El Rosario.
It's a pretty rough stretch of road there.. and most will never see the TV show recorded in DF.
If anyone is passing though this area and stops at a rancho or store.. it would be good to inquire.
Also.. is there any possibility of getting a photo of Antonnio? Perhaps a flier could be made, printed out via the internet, and posted on the route.bajaguy - 10-22-2008 at 08:49 PM
