With the two front pedalers only, they were soon cruising at twenty miles an hour on the ever smooth Road. Each team of two would pedal for an hour, then the next would take over. Porcero himself would not be pedaling. Instead, he rode in a comfortable seat placed where the central cargo area was on the the other three cycles.
The plan was to travel east until they were past the Rocky Mountains, then turn north. The going would be fast on the flat plains and low hills. When they got to Denva, they would turn east on the raised Road so as to avoid the migrating herds of bison. When the raised Road ended, they would head in whatever direction his Seekers said the crystal was.

It was estimated that They could reach the Town of Blue Tree in just over three days.
