<br />
The brain fire came from the amount of deliberation I have sank into my next step. Neural sputtering set fire to the piles of dead cell husks. Several cups of coffee did nothing to extinguish it; only fanned the flames. In the end, this cleared the underbrush, letting in the sunlight. Allowing me some real thinking, scheming and speculating (not as painful as I previously thought it to be).<br />
<br />
So, with kaleidoscopic images of a thousand ideas and my heart strings making quite a hedge for my brain to see over. I've made a decision to break up this world tour into chunks. South America being the first. I´m going to fly to California and get ready for Africa and Asia.<br />
<br />
There would need to be a page break here anyways, as I work as a means to finance this wheeled cabaret. The hedge I was referring to earlier is also watered by the unknown waters I went tip toeing out into. I have not been away from my family and friends for so many years in a row before (I was in New York a long time before I headed South). I had no idea how it was going to effect me. The FOMO (fear of missing out) is brutally strong. Fear that I'm missing out on the lives of the people I love. It has me questioning my judgement on being away for another 4,5,6 years. I am an adventurer and a groper of the unknown but I am not a drifting orphan. A cast away by choice, a tumbleweed who knows the way home. To ride the world on two wheels is my dream, but such a continuous stretch away from family seems a crime (most that I consider family have nothing to do with blood relation). I need a recharge and a regroup. The main thing I don't ever wanna do (again) is- miss out on true experiences cuz I'm rushing to get somewhere else. This applies in all directions and is one hell of a pickle.<br />
<br />
So by returning to California I break my continuous line. But being the person who calls the shots and is making this up as they go, I'm ok with that.<br />
<br />
This way:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I can make make money quicker doing what I enjoy, working with people I enjoy working with.</li>
<li>I can rebuild Davie who is seriously in need of some fresh parts.</li>
<li>I can reup my gear that is rather worn out.</li>
<li>I can tailor my set up for the African deserts </li>
<li>I can thoroughly research and prepare for Africa and Asia</li>
<li>I can get my charity ride and volunteer work action together easier</li>
<li>I can get this painful tooth fixed</li>
<li>I can rip some single track with my pals and get in all sorts of over nighters and micro-adventures.</li>
<li>I can have a damn good summer in an awesome place</li>
<li>I can see the humans I love and feel better about being away in the future.</li>
</ul>
I've got an amount in my head of what I wanna make. After the hoopla and culture shock shit storm of being back dies down. I'm gonna settle into stacking up the nickles. As much as I look to having a good time, riding bikes and cavorting with the clan... This is a business trip. We have a fat tire world tour to make happen! <br />
<br />
About the boat crossing? I still would like to cross the Atlantic by sailboat. Im going to continue to look on-line from California. If everything seems right, and I have luck getting hired on as crew. Ill fly back to South America to where the ship is docked... Some snowballs might do just fine in hell, people get stuck by needles in hay stacks all the time and odds tend to go up from zero with a little thing know as: trying. One never knows...<br />

Davie and I have trounced about, passing land beneath us.<br />

<br />

<br />
We have land falled the end of the western earth. If there is such a thing?<br />
<br />
Here are some images that validate the occasion:<br />

Davie and I have been in Ushuaia a few days. We're now turning around to ride back across Tierra del Fuego. It's a new chapter. Spread out over several years, I've ridden the length of the Americas. Our attention now is getting to South Africa to prepare for the ride to Mongolia. </div>

<b>Recently I had the pleasure to answer some questions for <a href="http://bikepackersmagazine.com/interview-kurt-sandiforth/" target="_blank">Bikepackers Magazine</a></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>And then I was abruptly interviewed by myself: </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>What is it that you consider yourself officially?</b> <br />
I'm a doer of things and a toothy disk rotator.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>How do you spend your time?</b><br />
Entangled in a metal contraption, stooped and running just above the ground.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Where do you prefer to do this? </b><br />
On the crusty and undeveloped skin of this big spinning potato.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Where do you reside when you are not on that metal big kids toy or flapping in the wind?</b><br />
In a nylon fortress<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>What's your favorite cheese?</b><br />
Gouda<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>What do you do with the long hours of solitude? </b><br />
I practice going slightly strange. It's a work in progress<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>What do you like best about those fat tires?</b><br />
Buoyancy, suspension and that they keep my pump handling skills honed.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>What do normally eat in a day? </b><br />
Just about anything I can sculpt a turd out of.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Did you really just say that? </b>Yes<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>What kind of music do you listen to mostly? </b><br />
A lot of punk and metal. Stuff that rattles my brain, keeps me charging into the unknown ready to do battle with beasts envisioned from gravity and the elements.<br />
Though sometimes I listen to pretty mellow stuff when I'm in a chill mood and need a hug.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>What are your goals for the future?</b><br />
To have a good time, not take things to serious and be a good dude.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Do you have any plans to stop ever?</b><br />
No. What I'm doing may vary but I won't halt for as long as Ill be breathing.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Thats sounds pretty corny. What do you mean by that?</b><br />
I'm currently on a lengthy bike trip. What I tend to dream about most? More bike trips. Bike raft trips, aquatic bike trips, cargo bike trips, rail bike trips, pack raft trips, etc etc. I hope this body holds out, I got some plans for it.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>What do you get out if all of this?</b><br />
A life thats enjoyable and an epic way to spend it.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Does the erratic discontent of a million neurological vortices make any sense to you?</b><br />
No<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Where are you going from here?</b><br />
Over the horizon and to oil my chain<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Have you anything else to say?</b><br />
Nope, it's time to ride.</div>

We called it "the mad dash to Alaska." We’re on touring road bikes and averaging about 90 miles a day. Somewhere in the north of British Colombia we bumped in to another cyclist. An energetic, bordering on spastic, middle aged man named Sergey. He was from Estonia and pedaling around the world for his second time. The first time he went around going east. This time he was going west, crossing Europe, Russia and the States both times.
Our pace was a bit much for him so we slowed, camping together for a few nights. He was an amusing and interesting little guy. His broken English with heavy slavic accent and the frantic way he did things was hilarious. "Go Go Go" was his favorite phrase. It's how he explained his trip, how he told us it was time to ride and how he woke us up in the morning.
It rained just about the whole time were together. The first night we slept in a junk yard, the next we camped in soggy tents. One morning we had a fire to dry things out and cook pancakes. Falon laid his socks along the fire to dry and quickly melted the shit out of them. They were his only pair. Sergey and I were cracking up watching him try to get his feet back in them. They weren't socks so much anymore as scorched and destroyed flaps of fabric. He wore them anyway, classic Falon style.
Later that same day we bid Sergey farewell. We were going off to some town I can't remember the name of to pick up a tire. So we got back on our old pace. My sister was getting married soon and I needed to be back in California.
Two years later, Falon, his brother Jasper and I were in Scandinavia. We had just ridden from Bergen, Norway to Stockholm, Sweden. Jasper headed home to the states. Falon and I boarded a ferry across the Baltic Sea.
Sergey had told us he was from Tallinn Estonia. As we rolled off the ferry in Tallinn, we thought: it couldn't be too hard to find him? The guy rode around the world twice. One of these bike shops is going to know of him.
Shop after shop they shook their heads at us. Until one. While doing our terrible job of describing just what we wanted and giving a vague description, I turned around and there was Sergey’s bike... hung on the wall next to a big photo of him. Excitedly we got the shop owner to phone him up.
He had just got off work and said he would come to the shop. We weren't sure he was going to remember us. We had only crossed paths for two days a few years before.
He busted through the door, obviously having sprinted there, yelling "my friends, my friends!” He gave us big hugs for a little guy. I asked "do you remember us? He said yes, but it was only when he reached down to check the condition of Falon's socks that I was sure.
He invited us to his home. We rode through the city, stopping several times at homes of his friends so he could show us off. He beamed, playing out the story of Falon's melted socks in his hyper way, more emphasized by his happiness.
We went back to his tiny communist block style apartment. He made us dinner and played for us many of the tapes he recorded on his tours. I had forgotten about the big lump in his coat back in Canada… the VHS video camera he carried around his neck, occasionally popping it out to film something. Eventually he found the tape and we watched ourselves on the screen 2 and a half years earlier.
Sergey had a girlfriend and a child on the way. He left us in his apartment and went off to her place for the night, returning to meet us in the morning. Together we rode to the city limits. He had to return to work and Falon and I were continuing south to Latvia.
He gave us big hugs, wishing us "Go Go Go,” then turned away abruptly, his eyes full of tears, too choked up to say anything more. He got on his bike and rode back.
I stood there a long time watching him go. What he must have felt? Twice he pedaled around the world at its largest land mass. The friends he made, the experiences he had. The things he saw and learned. All the emotions that come with it were in those tears. Elation and sadness, joy and frustration. The flood of memories from a monumental experience done twice. We were just two beings who had morphed out of the mist as living reminders.
We pedaled on. All of us better for the chance meeting. People like Sergey make this a better world. One that can be lived without borders, supremacy and fear.</b></span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My buddy Mohawk Tim once said- this was a site to watch for shenanigans. At the time I thought- not really its just me and the silly things I do on a bicycle. Though still not quite a full blown shenanigan, it came close. A caper for sure.<br />
It was afternoon when I started up the Abra del Aacy. The wind was strong in my face most the time so it made slow going. Time wore on and the wind got stronger. Soon a storm rolled in. The stinging rain turned to stingier ice as I went higher. I didn't wanna retreat like most smart people would have. It wasn´t even 5000 meters, how bad could it be? I was soon in a full screaming gale that wanted to rip Davie from me and fling him back over to Chile. This picture is where the last 4x4 turned around, not even to the top. The road no longer drivable, we pushed through snow drifts in destroyed Muppet mouth shoes. The wind was so loud in my ears I couldn´t hear myself yelling "You call this a storm?!" I just knew I was mouthing the words. Never before had I wanted to own a pair of ski goggles so badly. Finally we scrambled to the <a href="http://www.ombian.com.ar/SAC_2007/acay_cartel.jpg" target="_blank">summit</a>. I couldn't even get a picture. The ride down was some of the most reckless harebrained riding I`ve pulled off in a while. Man, I love bike touring </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My need to find wifi led me to the local bar. Victor and his buddies invited me to their table. I just wanted to sit and send my important messages, but I didn't wanna be rude. A bit of time and a few drinks later. Victor invited me to sleep at his house. He seems cool enough and not threatening in anyway. At his place he showed me the couch on the fenced and covered porch I could sleep on. He went over how safe it was showing me the lock on the gate and the lock on the door several times. We sat on the porch, he gulped a couple more glasses of wine and stumbled into the house to pass out, locking the door behind him. This was fine other than now I was locked out of the house and onto the porch. I couldn't leave and I couldn't go in. No big deal, I´ll get some sleep and wake him in the morning. Turns out Victor was the local cocaine dealer. Dudes kept coming by all night rattling the gate and yelling for him. He was out cold inside, leaving me to turn these jonseing coke heads away. No easy task. I got a few naps in between customers. After a huge effort I was able to roust Victor in the late morning. He opened my cage and I was set free. Not a predicament I wanna repeat. </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I bit of mis-information at the information center lead me to a big loop and a busy highway. Out of Mendoza I was gonna cross to Santiago by way of a little trekking path to the south. I was told that there was an immigration office in Tupungato where I could stamp out of Argentina. I rode all the way down to find there is no longer a immigration office in Tupungato. I should have gotten it 100k back up in Mendoza. Rather than ride back up there, wait till the next day to get the stamp and ride back to Tupungato. I decided to just mash it over the main pass/ border crossing between the two cities. </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I had been looking for new shoes since Peru. Peruvians and Bolivians are not very big people. I could never find shoes big enough. At and Chilean flea market I finally put the old kicks to rest. The best $1.60 I´ve spent in a long time. This pic doesn't show the hole in the bottom of the right shoe that 3 of my toes would hang out of. I kinda miss the air conditioning affect.</td></tr>

I can honestly say, the new way we go about devouring nachos has nothing to do with this post. Though, this new pannierless"lite-fat" configuration rules! There may be other times when more capacity is needed but for now it hauls the beets to market just fine.<br />
<br />
Here is a bit of what I carry around with me. <br />
<b>A.K.A:</b><br />
A kit list.<br />
My worldly goods.<br />
The things for which I do battle with the elements.<br />
Stuff I schlep around that I feel is somewhat necessary for survival.<br />
Matter that makes me feel less naked in the world.<br />
In life, I like being a sandwich. Without these things I would just be bread.<br />
<br />

Yep, Its been a bit over a year. Davie and I have been chugging along. Our first year in the new era of the world ride. Sometimes it seems like 6 life times of a cheap vinyl sofa (how ever long that is?) and other times, like the duration of a sneeze. Up, down and sideways... Its been a good ride!<br />

They say you can't but there is no one out there to say you can't. The FT. One of my favorite trail quotes came from my buddy Ben. We we're once on some singletrack and a hiker marches up to us out of nowhere and says "There are no bikes on this trail" Ben looks around and says "That's funny, I see two". I believe in respect and sharing when it comes to trails... but not always obedience.<br />

Just a few images from a fantastic year of bicycle riding. One down and many more to go! Man, I love this lifestyle! Its not a trip I'm on so much as a way of life. If there is one thing I know deep in my heart... I love it out here, riding a bike around on the earth... Bikeplaneting. </div>

There were 6 young Bolivian dudes doing their 1 year mandatory military service. Home also to a few dogs, not exactly treated well. I saw one guy kick his way through them rather than simply walk around. </td></tr>

(an alternative to the not so death defying "Death Road")<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
You hear alot about cycling the infamous Bolivian "Death Road" (Ruta de la Muertos). Vans loaded with bikes and gringos go streaming out of Lapaz every day. That old road chipped from the sheer cliff side sees thousands of bikers every year. The scenery is absolutly stunning (when its not hidden behind grey walls). Though, if you are a true, blown in glass Mt. Biker and crave single-track like a polar bear does seals? You might very well find yerself board to death by the "Death Road". I only compare these routes because they start and end in virtually the same place, taking different valleys.<br />

The ever amazing Christian from the Lapaz Casa de Ciclista gave us a lift to the Choro trail head. This trekking path is normally hiked in 3 days. We planned to do it in 1 on bikes. From a lofty 4870m down to a balmy 1300m- a decent of 3570m (11,712ft) How challenging could it be?<br />

I only had 50 Km on my odometer but it took us 12.5 hours of hard effort. We finished the last stretch in the dark. Head lamps sweeping the fast and rocky decent to Chairo. Amazing and difficult. We shared a beer and some hearty cheers all around at the end of a beautiful days ride. Don't expect a T-shirt.<br />

I highly recommend this alternative route to anyone with a hankering for the unbeaten path. A light weight bikepacking set up and breaking it into a 1.5 day run would be the most ideal. Be prepared for some serious hike-a-bike. The rideable stuff is in the beginning and the end.<br />

For her X-Mas vacation the hearty trooper, singer and nacho maker Rebecca Grace came to visit. She unfortunately had brutally sprained her ankle up in Beacon NY right before leaving. I picked her up at the airport hobbling, smiling and making the best of it. We spent a nice time shuffling about Lapaz, hanging out with the other cyclist at the Casa de Ciclista and descending through mist and rain on the Ruta de la muertos (Bolivias famous "Death Road") What better for your first bike tour (with a sprained ankle)?<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Surly's new O.D. cranks. The reason for these is 2 things. (First- This new crank steps both the chainrings out away from the tire. The granny sits where the middle ring normally is and the middle to the outer. This way I get more chain- tire clearance when in my lowest gear. <b>Less chainsawing the mud off.</b> (Second- The old crank is a 3 piece set. Both crank arms bolt to the spindle. The left is a nice secure, splined, pinch bolt style. Its easy to remove with no fatigue involved. The right side on the other foot, is a ramped ISIS style spline. Even at the initial installation I was weary. I cranked it down to proper torque spec and still before I knew it, it would come loose. I would wrench it down the best I could with my little multi-tool and ride to the next shop of any sort that would have allen keys. After having to do this several times the crank interface had seen a better day. The oscillation due to the fatigued taper was putting irregular side load pressure on the bottom bracket bearings, wearing them out sooner than later. I'm happy to be back to a solid 2 piece </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"> I do prefer a full size stove to a light weight alcohol burner. It comes with being a coffee drinker- that and gasoline being easier to find in places. This can get debated all up and down the bowling alley but in the end its personal choice. I really like having a power boiler and food simmer'er option. This stove rules- The <a href="http://www.sotooutdoors.com/" target="_blank">Soto Muka</a>. For a year of just about constant use it has been outstanding. I've used it some where in the neighborhood of 500 times. It gets a little crabby over bad gas, but so do I. Its to be expected. So why the new one? After so much use the pump was starting to wear and I wanted some spare bits in case I lost any during a cleaning. So I wrote to the company and told them what I was doing and asked if I could buy parts that are not regularly included with the normal service kit. Instead of that they sent me a new stove in trade for my old one for analyzation. I guess I've used it more than most.</td></tr>

Scott at <a href="http://www.porcelainrocket.com/" target="_blank">Porcelain Rocket </a>makes some of the best bikepacking luggage to be found on this spinning rock. His way with fabrics and custom fitting for all manner of frame spaces is<i> unhurdleable</i>. Yea, I made that up. These bags are so good no one cant jump over them?. Really it just means I cant get over how stoked I am to have this new piece of kit.</td></tr>

Its been a while, I know. Sorry for the sloth like pace at which this blog butt scoots along, sometimes.<br />

I`ve stashed my self comfortably at the Casa de Ciclista in the bowels of Lapaz. It was a good X-mas and New Years here. My good friend Rebecca came for a visit and we got in a sloppy and adventurous side trip. She also brought some much needed supplies for the trail ahead.<br />

I felt a bit like a desperado at times rolling into muddy pueblos. I could refer to my self as The Dirtdance kid... if <a href="http://www.whileoutriding.com/" target="_blank">Cass</a> was still here I could call him Butch Cass-idy....but that would be pretty corny, so I won't. Not in public anyway. </div>

I guess after the Aguas Caliente night mission. I couldn't get enough of the train tracks. I do love trains and being around them reminds me of good ol´times ridin´em. So with no one around to tell me not to, I loosely followed these tracks for more than 100k. Jumping between paralleling dirt tracks, gravel roads and some good fun bushwhacking.<br />

P.S. A.K.A. Coffee gulpers note: So I dropped off Ausengate down to the village of Checacupe. I'm now crusing down the broad flatish valley towards Puno. From where I'll get my Peru exit stamp and then head up around the north end of Lake Titicaca. Then down the east side to cross into Bolivia and head up into the Cordillera Real. If all goes well.<br />

Its always funny when something is on the horizon for so long and then its past. Or you are on the way somewhere distant than all of a sudden you´re beyond it. It seemed that way with Cusco. It loomed out there in front of us for so long. A place we´re constantly yet slowly on the way to. A goal with the reward in going. Very much unlike a desert oasis or a long drive in the back of a car. It was about getting there.<br />
<br />
Aside from the U.S., Peru is the largest country I have crossed in some time (if you look at it top to bottom). As with most places, I´m drawn towards the mountains. The Andes! The second largest range in the world. Where the going is slow and arduous on a bicycle. Distances are longer and the temperature ranges dramatically with elevation. Storms hit hard, lack of oxygen humbles the fitness and surfaces constantly keep you guessing. A place on the earth to make you know you are alive. It was truly phenomenal and I loved it out there.·· I had dreamt of those magical peaks and passes for so long. They far more than lived up to my expectations. I tried to soak it all in. Saturate my brain and immortalize those vistas in my memory. I want to always remember the smells and relive the sunsets. Feel that chill in the lungs with the first morning pedal strokes on those twisting and winding dirt roads. See the year long snow in the gullies of the craggy peaks like the veins in the back of my hand. Man... As I ride through out the world, I'm making reservations for places that need further two wheel exploration. The Peruvian Andes now have a big red flag.<br />
<br />
After Aguas Calientes, I caught back up with Cass in Cusco. As with most passing cyclist we stayed at <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com.pe/Hotel_Review-g294314-d319290-Reviews-Estrellita-Cusco_Cusco_Region.html" target="_blank">Hostal Estrellita.</a> There was ·· <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thecyclediaries" target="_blank">Matt and Alex</a> heading north·· <a href="https://www.facebook.com/douglas.eduardo.9/about" target="_blank">Douglas</a> from Brazil·· 2 stiff lipped, very clean Frenchies·· <a href="http://www.whileoutriding.com/" target="_blank">Cass</a> dirt road junkie and photo genius·· <a href="http://www.bikegreaseandcoffee.com/" target="_blank">Kurt</a> horribly addicted cyclist, pastry vacuum and coffee gulper. We talked alot about bikes, gear and routes. A reoccurring theme among cyclist. As is eating you weight in baked goods. Cusco is a beautiful city. We did a fair amount of walking around, sampled the cuisine and enjoyed a real Irish pub. I stayed for the better part of a week.<br />
<br />
Cass and I said our farewells. Hes off to the U.K. for the holidays. He is a good chap with a calm and educated air, the kind that only comes with years in foreign places. It was a true pleasure to turn the pedals and storm some passes with one of the best in the business. Happy trails, Pal<br />

Trekking gear and sturdy footwear was recommended for this route. I brought worn out shoes and a fatbike.<br />

A few route notes: Tinke is the start of the good stuff .It was 117 Km of mostly pavement to get there from Cusco. Upis was 6.6 Km up a steep dirt road. Ausengate is the Mt. on the right. You wanna head for its right side. A long valley will lead you close to its base at 4480 M and 133 km from Cusco. They are just now working on a developed path there. It went for about 100m and then the trail became very vague. Just keep heading for the glacier ahead of you. The pass is around to the right flank. You will drop down to two lakes. Go toward the one on the left and around its right side, A steep ridge will run along your right side. It doesn't seem like a pass but it is (directly south of the glacier on the back side of Aus) The are a million alpaca trails so just pick one and head up over the southern ridge. I went to far and had to go back. As another reference its at hard right and up at the head of the last lake (the one the Glacier dumps into). You climb steeply to 4930M and then drop down into the valley below you, again no real trail. The few buildings that appear further down is the booming metropolis of Ausengate. Stay around to its left side. This will bring you to the road. Left to Chilca and right for a 30km decent to Pitumarca. </div>

<span style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">Stones of another sort. After our ordeal getting to </span>Aguas...<span style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"> They weren't about to let us ride out either. We were stopped by some head honcho who showed us his badge and marched us to an office. </span><a href="http://www.whileoutriding.com/south-america/peru/into-the-amazonas-to-machu-picchu#comments" style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;" target="_blank">Cass</a><span style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"> again being the speaker (I owe that guy a couple thousands of words) got nowhere in bargaining for our freedom. We weren't in trouble, we just couldn't leave on our bikes. Same stupid rule. You can walk but you cant ride or push your bike along the tracks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"> We sat, we hemmed, we hawed. While doing so were told a few more times that bikes were not permitted on the railroad tracks (the only feasible way out). Cass resolved to take the train. It was a ticket price I couldn't stomach- and it didn't sound like any fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"> I waited till after dark, watched the security guard end his round and made a break for it. A feeling I knew all to well from years of freight train hopping. Like old times except not at all. Down the line aways and it started to pour. I had to pass some other big hydro/ electric plant. Again I watched the guard then stumbled past. Riding at times, bumping along between the rails or on a path along side, when there was one. Most time, the space in the canyon was only big enough for the river and the rail line. You could easily avoid being hit by trains but trying to hide was a bit interesting. I dove behind rocks or clung to the weeds on the cliffside. The river rushed and the rain came down. The night worn on and I made progress. We had gotten up that morning at 4 and hiked up to MP. Now that it was late, my eyes went to doing funny things in the dark. Like in the <a href="http://tourdivide.org/" target="_blank">Tour Divide</a>. At one point I realized I lost my camera- prolly back at one of my train dodges AKA bush dives. It was gonna be a real long night. Though lucky me, I found it sitting in the middle of the trail only about a Km back and still working (not even near anywhere bumpy). The rain stopped and stars came out. I camped in the walls of some Incan ruins. In the morning I rode back into Ollantaytambo and had a delicious coffee. </span><br />

<a href="http://www.whileoutriding.com/south-america/peru/into-the-amazonas-to-machu-picchu" target="_blank">Cass</a> and I went point A to B by going to C,D and E first. Our route to from Ollantaytambo went up and over the 4400m Abra Yanamayu. From where we zipped down, a little more down and then further down to Occobamba and San Lorenzo. A long and winding decent of around 3500 meters that had us trying to remember what it was like to pedal. Soon enough were choking on thick air and sweating in the Amazon.<br />

. From St. Theresa- Plan A was to tip-toe past the guards at Hydroelectrica (bicycles are not allowed on the hiking path) Plan B was to ask nicely. Plan-C was to carry them (we brought rope and everything). We got nowhere with that whole bit of the alphabet. Cass being the (much) better of the Spanish speakers went back and forth, up, down and around and still got nowhere. We might as well have been trying to smuggle in a life size Machu Picchu replica for as far as we got. I don't think the Taj Mahal would have been as strict for letting us in with bikes. Begrudgingly they finally allowed us to take the train with them.Grrr. Though we could have pulled a <a href="http://joecruz.wordpress.com/2011/11/16/3am/" target="_blank">Joe. </a> (going back and sneaking through at night) Decidedly we didn't want to lose the rest of that day and the next before hiking the big MP. We rode the shame train looking out at folks hiking happily. <b>For others looking to do this with bikes: </b>We found out later than you can ship your bike from the Hydroelectrica to Aguas Calientes on the train and walk in to pick it up. Live and learn<b> </b><br />

My toothbrush didn't turn titanium over night but things have lightened up. I've met back up with Cass here in Ollantaytambo. We've shed some gear and are gonna run light and scampery. We put together a couple hunered K route of dirt that will eventually drop us in on the the big MP. Hells Yea!<br />
