Who is currently on their way to Tierra del Fuego?
 
Hey guys, I am riding from San Salvador, El Salvador to Manauga, Nicaragua today. Who else is doing this trip to Argentina and please say where you are and if you would like to meet up with other riders.

Thank You,

Geoff,I am staying at the Casa Mateo in Jinotepe right now.I plan on leaving for Costa Rica on Monday morning.I would like to meet up with you in Costa Rica or Panama.I am waiting for a e-mail from my buddy Mike.He is stuck in Guatemala waiting for copies of paperwork for his bike that were ripped off in Antigua.We hope to meet up again and cross the gap together.If we have 3 or 4 bikes it may be easier to find a sail boat to take us across in a timely manner?How were you planning on getting to Columbia?Keep me updated and we may do this together?

On my way south
 
Hi all,
I'm further North than you all are, but hope to cross into Mexico near Yuma this week, head down Baja and ferry across to mainland, then make Guatemala. I'm not in any hurry so probably you will all be long gone before I reach Panama, but you never know, and there will no doubt be others following too.

I'll be to late to make Argentina this year so maybe catch you in Peru or Ecudor if you decide to return the way you came.

Anyway think of us following, don't drink all the beer and don't leave all the women crying!!!

dmotorider 7 Nov 2007 18:23

I'm in San Rafael, ARG for a few more days and then to Santiago, CHI for some parts. I'm thinking about doing the same thing as you though. Viedma then TDF for Christmas. Problem is that I wanted to go down the west coast (Ruta 40) and back north to BsAs on the east (Ruta 3). Would be nice to ride with someone on Ruta 40 though. Let me know if you're interested.
Cheers

Anyone leaving Buenos Aires on the 16 December?
 
Hiya, I was wondering if anyone would like company heading south from BA on the 16th. I hope to have Christmas in Ushuaia. I am actually not going south first. I was planning on heading west over to Mendoza then south to the lake district and beyond but am flexible. I am planning on camping and would like to do a bit of hiking along the way. Let me know if you are interested in a riding partner.. email is the best way to contact me.

Cheers and happy riding.

Canada to Argentina
 
I am currently in Papoyan, Colombia and will be in Ecuador in about 10 days on or about December 10, 2007. I plan to spend Christmas and New Ýears there befor moving onto Peru.

I am riding solo and am in no rush, but willing to meet up with other riders who may be in the area.

For those who are riding south, do not miss Colombia. It is great country!

Nos vemos!!

dmotorider 30 Nov 2007 19:22

Hey Susan,

I'm in San Martin and heading towards Viedma for Dec.6th. Afterwards on the 9th I'm heading south to Ushuaia. The route down depends on what happens at the meeting, but I'm planning on travelling Ruta 3 and Ruta 40. I'll also be camping wherever possible and it would be nice to have someone else to ride with through the patagonia.

Cheers
Daren

Another one going to Viedma then south to Ushuaia. My wife and and I arrive in BA on 27th November and hopefully the bike will be at the airport ready to be extracted via the Customs people. Hope to meet some of you at the meeting. We are planning a nine month trip going up to Alaska and then shipping the bike and ourselves back to the UK at the end of August 2012.
