A veritable flock of Cary’s – finally, ready to roll in Reno

Completely knackered, quite sweaty and slightly cold but absolutely victorious at the top of Mount Rose Pass

We started off smiling & blissfully unaware of the day that lay ahead

Bremma dancing up a dust storm in Black Rock City

Matt the total legend, making our new rear wheel in San Diego

Trepidatious as we approach the border. You can see the fence behind us.

There are some mighty large cacti out there

The desert is full of awesomeness!

A happy man at having re-laced his first wheel!

Sitting on a bus seat by the lagoon

We feel like this about our current situation

No kidding, there is a place called Central Australia in Cuba. No wonder people were surprised by our shizle Spanish!

It had to be done. We took a ride through Havana in an old Chevy with Roberto.

Stoked to be riding again

Camping on a small farm with 6 children in Colombia

What would a trip be without a broken spoke

or 2……

The camping stove is a source of true wonder

Must have shade

Must be nearly the top, right?

Just for clarity

Hot & hilly

We did a presentation in Spanish about cycle touring for the Cultural Week. St least, we think that’s what we said…..

Bremma do a day ride through Cartagena. So nice to ride without all of our bags!

Hot & Hilly. Oh Colombia!

No way! Really! Another broken spoke?

And everyone tells us we need a mobile phone

A new chain for Falkor. 3 chains in 13,000km

“Crema Crema Crema! Rica Rica Rica!” Have you ever seen e=anhone this excited about ice cream! 25cents a pop. We had 2 each.

After 36km of downhill in the freezing wind, we start to warm up on the climb back out of the valley

Looking back at the hard slog uphill

LOVING our new World Bicycle Relief hats!
