Well, folks, the mystery of nuun has now been solved.  Although they did criss-cross the pathway multiple times, they eventually broke a bike frame straight through.  Not being able to ride, they decided they would sleep for a bit, and sleep they did — for 12 hours!  They have rented a new bicycle to complete the leg and are now underway to the finish.
