Asado Enduro

We were warned about the endless straight roads, we were told horror stories about the fierce winds but what we were not told was how many asados (bbqs) we would have to eat and how all those fantastic steaks would convert to fat so quickly. Catching up on 22 years of vegitarianism

Bolivia El Mejor

The worlds most dangerous road!!! Naarrrr the M1 is more dangerous on friday rush hour. We survived it but we didn�t get the t-shirt, (you have to do it on mountain bike to get one of those.) There is no doubt though that it�s a pretty spectacular road , 70km of single track road that hugs the mountainside from 4200m to 1200m, giving way to 200m drops to the jungle floor below. Easy, just dont ride off the edge!

Lima to La Paz

On the bikes at 5am on a drizling Lima morning and we finally escaped the the city without drama, headed for our desert oasis 200kms down the road. I found a new friend at Machu Picchu!

The Great Escape

Turbo Tourismo in Centro America

Mexico, Done & Dusty

From lots of rules and regulations and relative order to chaotic driving and congested living and people doing what seemingly doing just what they want. Yep you have just crossed the border into Mexico.

The Lower 48

I cruised the coast road, survived traffic hell in San Fransisco, modified the bike in Yosemite, survived death in Death Valley, lost no money in Las Vegas and cruised through a furnace to get to Albuquerque. Another fantastic month on...

My Boots Are Made For Walking

Three weeks on Vancouver Island, not exactly what I had planned, more like three days. I have learnt two valuable lessons from it. Foremost, european model only bikes are a pain in the ass to get bits for and there...

Bike Goes Bang

Two Up Cruising

Gone bush and back, got a fish and got me a woman!

You click into first and pull away. You have 20 tunes lined up on your MP3 player. Fifty miles into the dirt road leaves you with 40 more to go to the small town and gas station. The sun is...

The Bike Arrives and I Head North

The Start Of The Adventure

I have run into some incredible luck in the name if Chuck Manley, a local, who has loaned me a motorcycle and given me info on all the prime off/on road routes. For the last week I have been checking...
