Mark had a race on last night to cross border number 8 into Costa Rica. Pumping his legs into top gear and armed with his mobile phone he live-blogged his progress on twitter.

Here's how it went:

# Started the day with an awesome downhill. Always a gd feeling to overtake trucks!

# Yaas! Made it. Gave my time trialing legs a spin for the last hour. Reached the lines of trucks on the border at dusk.

# Just paying my way through each step of the customs - a dollar here, then $2 there, then... the border is a stealthy money making machine!

# I am in Costa Rica - Pura Vida!
