Hi all, sorry I'm so lax in keeping up with the ride report. Just thought I'd post this one separately until I catch up with the rest of it in "Escape from DC".
Quick summary - beautiful ride down through Ecuador/Peru to Bolivia, awesome landscapes and great people. Not a moment trouble with anyone, police and army included. Met a bunch of cool travellers, cyclists and moto riders. Bike has been almost faultless, just oil changes and tires. 38,000 miles/61000 km in just over 13 months.
A few more days in Bolivia, then to get some good wine in Argentina!
This would have been better if my chair hadn't blown away, and I hadn't had to stick my head out of the tent to make sure the camera hadn't blown away as well! Needless to say, camping on the salt was awesome.
