Aug – Dec 2012 – The Andes Trail, South America
With a generous leave of absence of 6 months (thanks boss!) I got the opportunity to join Bike Dreams for their Andes Trail 2012 tour of South America – starting at the equator, just north of Quito in Ecuador, and finishing after 138 days, 106 stages, 108,036 metres of climbing, and 10,937 km, through 5 countries, at Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, at the southern tip of Argentina.
Obviously I didn’t walk this one, but took my mountain bike, and saw so much of an amazing mountain chain, different countries, cultures, food, drinks, scenery, weather, temperatures, met some fantastic people, and learnt a lot. My blog for the duration is archived, and photos will be up shortly.

Good post. I learn something new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon
every day. It’s always interesting to read through articles from other writers and practice a little something from other web sites.
