January News from World Biking

2011
promises to be an excellent year for our World Biking adventure. The monotony of the Argentine Pampa and the vicious
headwinds of southern
Patagonia are behind us.
Now comes the fun stuff: the Andes! Being from Montana, I’ve got a certain fondness for high places. We’ve put in a few good climbs already and there are months more to come in Bolivia and Peru. By the end of it, I may be whining about more mountains, but for now we’re both thrilled to be taking on some high altitude challenges.
Between cycling the Carreterra Austral, one of the most famous roads in the world (well, at least if you’re a cycling junkie) and meeting up with loads of other cyclists, we’ve been busy.
Between pushing the pedals, searching for places to pitch the tent and the endless fight to keep Eric fed, we’ve find to focus our thoughts on some new blog posts. We hope you’ll find them entertaining and inspiring.
