Today is the day that I finally completed my incredible journey across the Americas! It's been an entire year, five months, and nine days of hard work, determination, and adventure to reach this momentous goal. I spent ten months and ten days on the road, making sure...

For my penultimate day, I have a good forecast of slight tailwinds and a high of 13 under partly cloudy skies. The distance today is 108 km to Tolhuin. Yesterday's currency exchange went very quickly. The first store we asked told us to go to the corner office and...

From the North to the South, the Pacific to the Atlantic I am now ready to finish Octogenarian Odyssey 2.0. Yesterday the winds cooperated and it was relatively smooth sailing across the sea of grass here in Terra del Fuego. Even the crosswinds permitted me to hold my...

I started the day as planned and drove back to the stopping point the day prior, I managed to get in 11.1k before the gale force winds forced me to stop. I tried walking and pushing the bike but the cross winds would not permit me to do so. I would almost tip over and...

I am in a rush today so I can start riding before the wind decides to get up and start blowing as hard as it can. I managed to get in 140k yesterday before the wind was too strong to ride. Again it wanted to blow me into the center of the road and it was extremely...

We are about to leave Puerto Natales, Chile, another nice town located on the coast and in the mountains. Johana took the day to go to the famous Torres Del Pines National Park to see the famous peaks. Myself and Gloria had too much to do with changing money into USD...

After dealing with my money issues two days ago in El Calafate, Gloria and I decided to treat ourselves and go to an elegant Argentina restaurant. We went to Mako’s on Main Street, where several customers were dining outside and enjoying the sun even though it was...

Yesterday, worked out just fine as I made my way to El Calafate, Argentina. The last 25k was into the wind, so I traveled between 13 and 17kph. The rest of the way, I had a good tailwind. For the last 2.5 weeks, I have had the road almost to myself. Since so many...

When we were staying in Tres Lagos, the locals told us there was nothing in La Leona. So I decided to ride straight through to El Calafate, a distance of 165k. I was hoping the wind would cooperate and I would fly like the condors all day long. My hope did not...

One night with no wifi sets a person behind with their Facebook posts. That is what happened when we stayed at the estancia. Remember, there was no power, water, heat, or electricity, but a good time. We said our goodbyes to Mateo and his lovely wife and set out at...

🌬️ Yesterday, we experienced some high winds in the morning, but fortunately, they gradually subsided as the day went on. Despite the high wind, we decided to to ride, drafting behind te van to make it easier. However, our adventure was momentarily interrupted when a...

🚴‍♂️ Two hours of a great tailwind, and I'm feeling optimistic about my ride today. The smooth road and little traffic are making for a pleasant journey. I'm making good progress, covering 70 kilometers in no time. But just as I turn the corner, everything changes....

Yesterday's adventure was an absolute blast! The weather was sunny and hot, with temperatures reaching a pleasant 25 degrees. However, there was quite a strong wind blowing, making it feel even hotter. I couldn't believe my luck when I experienced a tailwind of 60...

Yesterday, we finally got some sun, and I could remove a few layers. I had a great morning in the sun with a mighty tailwind that had me cruising at 34kph. Along the road, there were hundreds, yes, hundreds of Guanacos. Every day in Patagonia brings sightings of furry...

What a wild ride I experienced yesterday. First, I thought it might be a dry day as it never rained during the night, but no sooner did my pedals start to turn than down came the liquid sunshine. I was cruising along with a tailwind through the country, which...

Same, same, but different. Yesterday, the clouds lifted, and we got some sun, not much, but I grasped the time and took many photos, so I decided a video would best show several of them. The day started, it was 50% warmer, three degrees with no wind. The rain stayed...

Well, I survived another day. We had an 89k and 1600m climb with about 20k of gravel road with 2 degrees at the start and rain for 90% of the day. Does anyone want to join me? It is funny the conversation one has with himself during the ride: Damm, my thumb is cold,...

Yesterday was a very wet ride. I was warm everywhere except for my toes and fingers. So much for having Gortex gloves and boots as the water got in, I suppose at the seams or just from a good soaking. While the rest of me stayed warm, I still got wet by the end of the...

I listened to it rain all night long and thought what should I do, ride in rain, stay put till it stops, spend another day in this town, or ride in the car. I opted for for wait till it stops and set out at 10 am. I got lucky and did not experience much rain and...

Yesterday was a day for riding on the ferries. We had to do a few chores, such as getting money from the ATM and gasoline. The first ATM was out of cash, and the second was being repaired. Gloria managed to talk the Brinks crew into letting her do one withdrawal....

Yesterday, we left Puerto Montt and started down Highway 7. It was a cloudy, cool, windy and rainy day as we caught the first ferry. Yesterday, we met a fellow cyclist from Japan who started in Lima and a walker who began just south of Santiago. Both are heading to...
