Rounding out 2023 and onto 2024.

In our exploring around Quito we had wanted to find the other Equator Monuments. We rode about 1.5 hours north toward Cayambe to find the one on the Panamerica Hwy. Somehow on our ride down we did not see it, although you cross the equator many times as the road...

Have been resting up, and exploring around Quito. Young James tries on a $10 helmet at the MegaMaxi.... We took the opportunity to clean our bikes. Then we went out to dinner at Albert's old pub in Quito. Having a true pint. Young James feeling at home..... Funny...

MY TRIP PLANS ARE CHANGING SO I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD POST THIS UP.......... I started my ride on June 4th with a ride to the Oregon coast with Camogreg (and the start of his cross country ride!) I am now on my 9th month on the road (about 38,000 miles), 6 months of...

After visiting the doctor and getting some Antibiotics ..... it has taken a few days but I am certainly on the rebound. Normally I am a healthy guy. Had food poisoning in Mexico (just ask Sam 🙂 and this is the only other medical issue I have had. I took the safe...

This is a post that Young James Made on Thursday night...... Ok I shall be the one to brake the news.... brace yourselves... Mark has been a little under the weather last 2 days. I was feeling a bit crap yesterday morning but after a couple of drugs(legal kind) &...

On a long journey like this one, there are times that you need a break. We decided to hang out in Quito for a 5-6 days. We had a few things we needed to take care of and though it would be good to miss the weekend traffic in a few of the spots we are going to ride to...

Was a great couple hour ride back to Quito. The road is good and winds through the mountains taking you from the 1,400 Meters (4,500 feet) in Mindo up to 3,000 Meters (9,500 feet) in Quito James has had a slow leak in his tire for the last 3-4 days. It appears that a...

Stayed in Mindo at a great place, owners Susan and Louis are wonderful. Really a great place to hang out. While here decided to adventure the local way. No other photos but a short video that a put together after the fun of being on 13 Ziplines across and around the...

Canoa is a beach town. If your young and a surfer then I think you can stay for a long time. But we were ready to ride on, back into the mountains of Ecuador. The beach is always great for a visit. In Canoa the fisherman keep there boats on the beach. They roll them...

While planning for this ride, and while on the road, it is a constant quest to research and find out about places to see, roads to find, and new people to meet. In the Latin America thread I saw a post by miguelitro, who is living in Canoa which is a small beach town...
