On the way to Bogota
Getting warnings from experienced riders Simon and Lisa Thomas from www.2ridetheworld.com about leaving too early tomorrow morning from Popayan in Colombia on the road to Bogota. The gaurds don’t man the road until 8am and there has been some recent trouble. Will leave at 6am and get into the city for around 10.30am. The bike then is flown to Panama and will be released on the Monday for a two day crossing of Central America, a day in Mexico and 2 days across the USA. This adventure has to end sometime and it’s coming up to 5 months on the road. Just because this last bit is a bit rushed in no way compromises the journey. So much material has been gathered that it will already make a good book and film, which is one of the important goals of the project.
Right now 200kms 250kms from Quito on Andean roads. Just come out of freezing cloud but in the sunshine now.
