Adrien,
good news about the weather. I'm currently in Bariloche and heading down Ruta 40 tomorrow for some fun fall / winter activities around Torres del Paine. So Adrien if you are around the area we could maybe to a  on the road somewhere...
Anyone done anything more than intro into ice climbing around the area? The tour companies only seem to offer intro courses...
Btw, I'm Simon's "Swedish mate"

Ruta 40
Hi Eric,
good to see that you made it down there and nice photos.
Ruta 40 was all godd but it chewed up my rear sprocket so waiting for one to be flown in from Santiago. Should be in Ushuaia in about a weeks time I guess. Will trek Torres del Paine for a few days while waiting for parts.
Pictures and movies from my helmet cam of Ruta 40 is on swedishrider.com - adventure dashboard if you want to see it in action.
Later,
Johan

I will be BA on 27th April. ( Flying from Dubai, UAE). I will ride to Ushuaia if weather permits or I will use these days for some other place. Because I have to go long way up to Alaska. Please keep this thread active and update  first hand weather report.
If weather permits, how many riding hours will take to reach Ushuaia from Rio Gallegos?

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
