A Novice Cyclist Takes On The Andes. November 29, 2014. The domed city of our future? No, it is La Paz. With the above in mind, I’ve still had to seek out a bike shop in La Paz. The reason? I’m ready for the salars. Can t Clean Clothes With Washboard →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:.

https://buchanabroad.wordpress.com/2014/12/23/the-high-road
A Novice Cyclist Takes On The Andes. December 23, 2014. Still only 3 popped tires! Innumerable pasta dinners eaten. 576 photos in my memory card. Determination and the Lagunas. The same blogs that worried us about road conditions told tales of a salt mining camp where one could spend the night and receive a few meals. This became a goal of ours, to stay in a Bolivian resource camp. I had spent the better part of a month this past summer in an oil and gas camp in northern BC, and was very curious ...Arriv...

Can´t Clean Clothes With Washboard | buchan abroad
https://buchanabroad.wordpress.com/2014/12/12/cant-clean-clothes-with-washboard
A Novice Cyclist Takes On The Andes. Can t Clean Clothes With Washboard. December 12, 2014. Just Like Butch Cassidy. Riding out of El Alto was much easier than riding in. The road sloped slightly downhill, the early morning traffic was much more manageable, and I accidentally ran a red light without dying. The Slopes of Erebor. Life and Death of a Pannier Rack. Fear and Loathing on the Salar De Coipasa. Another easy hop back into Bolvia, and things were suddenly. . . well more potato themed&#...Powered b...

A Novice Cyclist Takes On The Andes. December 25, 2014. Our journey does not consist only of cycling through impossible landscapes. Each town brings interesting side adventures and odd happenings, normal situations we are unused to, and unforeseen circumstances that are worth mentioning. We should have just paid the full fair. 8221; in moments of silence, complete with a raised fist. However, we were in luck, and a Swiss fellow arrived in a 4×4 for a soak in the sulfury waters. He happily shared...You ar...

Bordering Discovery | buchan abroad
https://buchanabroad.wordpress.com/2014/11/27/bordering-discovery
A Novice Cyclist Takes On The Andes. November 27, 2014. 1030 kms biked so far (give or take). 3 tubes punctured (all mine). 2 borders crossed (Canada – Peru – Bolivia). 1 kidnapping (very friendly and benign). 9 litres of unrefridgerated flavoured yogurt consumed. Legend of the Sunburnt Gringo. On the Shores of Humour. After an unintended day of rest in Lampa (roads to Puno were closed by protests, thwarting our plan to ride around the North shore of Lago Titicaca), we road South to avoid the Pan-Am high...

A Novice Cyclist Takes On The Andes. January 23, 2015. Final Distance Cycled: 3170km. Passes over 4,500m: 8. Empanadas Eaten: Chile: 6 / Argentina: 19 / Bolivia: 15 / Peru: A handful. Hottest Day: 34 ‘C. Coldest Night: The water bottles froze. Most Friendly Police: Argentina. Most Useful Police: Not Argentina. I’m now reading War and Peace. I’m enjoying it a lot more, but I’m hoping that it does not herald any more coincidences. Down by the Sea. Blister in the Sun. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You are com...

A Novice Cyclist Takes On The Andes. Blister in the Sun. January 11, 2015. Atacama, the Desert Planet. After a relaxing Christmas in the company of some delightful Australians, we again hit the road. Our plan was to ride out through the Atacama desert and climb over Paso Sico into Argentina. Tess couldn t wait for the place to open, and retreated to a fruit salad and an early night. Perhaps it was for the best; she was spared the decadence that was to unfold. Our favorite thing about argentina (we have m...
