In Samaipata today. Rainy. Roads pretty bad but passable. Picture attached of spot between Samaipata and checkpoint before El Torno. Don't loiter near the cliffs. Once you see the huge rocks that have already come tumbling down you'll see why.

Dakar
I"ll be in Tinogasta on the 11th and 12th to see the race if you"re around Belen ARG. Closest room i could find and I'm hoping the racers will be in the dunes close by. The schedule is 2 days in Belen but the route is not announced yet. Regardless I'll find em. Let me know if you get close.

Will do David. I'll either start following the race from Uyuni or Salta onwards.

Setting off from BA-city in about 1/2 hour down the ruta 3. Lovely boring ride to look forward to. ... Will be in Ushuaia next weekend (end Jan) if all goes to plan.
Then heading up the ruta 40

Northern Chile / Peru / Bolivia
Hey Chris.
Have you made it back from the South yet? Next week I will be riding into Bolivia or Peru (not decided yet) from Calama. Then it's north toward Cartagena while checking out some of the sights along the way. Right now I have to wait till the new clutch to arrives for my DR650, in Calama. Hope to be back on the road early next week. Spending time in Antofagasta meanwhile. Nothing to do in Calama. Would be nice if our paths would cross and we could share a drink and maybe part of the ride. Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andy
Still in Ushuaia. Just got back from an Antarctic cruise. Way behind you. Heading up the Ruta 40 tomorrow. That's the plan. But judging by current form, that will probably change some time in the next 10 minutes...
cheers
Chris

Left some crumbs on Ruta 40
Missed you as we turned north. Left some crumbs ('rtw and Motorcycle Sexpedition stickers) on Ruta 40. Saw many rental bikes and tour groups headed towards you, and numerous motorbikes from Brazil and Argentina.
Pic is closest I could get to a selfie not carrying a selfie stick but using mirrored building. The 33 year-old GL650 adventure motorbikes did very well, not even a flat tire.
Bits of the South America stage of our part of the rtw rally are here

In La Paz today. Taking a short hop to Copacabana this afternoon. On Sunday (24 April) or Monday heading for Cusco. From there I intend to continue northwards staying in the mountains towards Ayacucho.

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.
