A bicycle ride along the Andes

On Jan 23rd I arrived in Ushuaia, 101 cycling days and 7574 km since my departure from La Paz in Bolivia several months earlier. I spent 480 hours in the saddle achieving this distance and climbed over 80 vertical kilometres! The site contains short diary entries, longer articles, pictures, sound and video from places I visited along the way. Within each section you can choose from what to display based on country, region or place.

You can navigate the site using the menu or you can see information about places I have visited or am planning to visit by clicking on parts of the map. The red dots show my route and clicking on each dot will take you to a short description of the place (not very detailed I'm afraid) from where you can see entries for that location. I am also uploading the altimeter logs from my X6 wristop computer, which Suunto kindly provided, to the SuuntoSports website. When prompted for username and password use the username ttth and password ttth. In the Cross Sports forum select the '05 Reports' and you can see my travel reports and logs. I am the user adb. This link should give you a list of all my logs.

Argentina is going through tremendous economic hardship at the moment and children are suffering as a result. ADI (Asociaction para los derechos de la Infancia) is a partner organisation of Save the Children Sweden and their work is the promotion of child rights though different projects that include education and child protection through ombudsman offices. Their web site is in Spanish but you can download a document that details their work. You can help by making a donation to Save the Children and this money will go to ADI. How to donate.
You can also help for free simply by visiting the Por Los Chicos website which will help feed an Argentine child. See this BBC article about how feeding centres in Argentina are helping. Why not make this a daily click with your first cup of coffee! Por los chicosPor los chicos
