About this blog

Starting on August 6th 2010 we will be joining a group of other people of questionable sanity to mountain bike pretty much the entire length of the Andes in South America. It will take over 4 months, cover approx 11,000 Km's and ascend over 150,000 metres. Thankfully we shall descend around 153,000 metres, so by my reckoning it's mostly downhill! We start in Quito, Ecuador and finish in Ushuaia, Argentina (The most southerly city in the world). That's the plan at least!
