January 18th 2014 Distance – 5493 miles as the crow flies Travel time – ~24 hours door to door This was a brutal travel day. After far too much beer, too many cocktails, and too little sleep, Martyn bangs on the door of the “Princess Suite” to wake me up…

Friday, January 17th Distance – 0km This is it. The trip is almost over. All we have left to do is hang out and get our flights home. The lads are leaving around 5:30pm this evening. I’m hanging out until 6am tomorrow. For those of us who have not yet…

Sunday, January 12th Distance – 96KM, 90% ripio We got a slow start out of Cisnes. The concept that there are no stores, restaurants, or petrol stations open on a Sunday morning is quite foreign – Nosotros somos los extranjeros. Still, it gives us time to chill and relax on…

Saturday, January 11th Distance – 447KM 70% gravel Heading back north from Tranquillo was nowhere near as exciting as our trip down. The weather was great but that pushed lots of dust up in the air. We were also a lot more disciplined about keeping everyone in view at all…
