It's just 24 hours before the team begins departing for Santiago de Chile and the reports from people on the ground at Ojos del Salado confirm significant snow on the ground. North Americans Don Bowie and Michael Kantor are already on the mountain, preparing for their own world record ... the largest 24 hour descent by mountain bike. They are planning to ride down from the Summit of Ojos del Salado (6,893 m - 22,615 ft) to sea level in a day. Currently they are acclimatising on the mountain at 5,200 metres, and reporting a lot of snow. We are hoping to catch up with these guys in a weeks time, when we should be arriving at the mountain. They are expecting to still be there when we arrive due to the acclimatisation schedule.
