Continental bicycle tour of Canada, USA, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Peru
Used to be an applications developer (posh name for computer geek) for Pilkington Glass in St Helens. Got bored, quit, cycled across Eastern Europe, went back to Pilks, got bored again and cycled through South then North America. Seriously afraid I can no longer return to civilisation I now intend to cycle through all the world's very cheapest countries. I would love to say it is for a worthy cause or even something a bit lame like "just to find myself", but it's more just because I developed an alergy between the hours of 9 and 5 and had to leave the country. Now my girl has been infected (or cured depending on your viewpoint) and has joined me in the madness!
Initially a six month journey by bicycle, beginning in Ushuaia, Argentina and ending in Peru at Lake Titicaca along the infamous Ruta Quarenta (route 40). Taking in Torres del Paine, Perito Moreno glacier, Bariloche (lake district), the Carreterra Austral, Aconcagua, Salta, Salta de Uyuni, Titicaca.
The journey has extended and restarted in Vancouver heading south along the US coastline, through Mexico to Central America and hopefully back into South America to return to Lake Titicaca from the north....
