| The situation started to get worse as we approached the section of road which had been closed until June. |
 |
| The mud clogs up the wheels making it impossible to ride and sometimes impossible even to push. |
 |
| Vehicles were not doing well either and the road was completely blocked to traffic in at least a dozen places. |
 |
| Motorbikes were making it through but only just. |
 |
| Hearing reports that there was thick mud for more than 100 km we were starting to get worried. With our bikes so heavily loaded we can only carry them for short distances. (For more information on this section, see Santarem-Cuiaba Road page) |
