South America, here we come. Video release.

It's now 2 weeks till we take off and head to Quito in Ecuador to start the next installment of 'Tales from the Saddle'. A South American journey of over 11,000kms to the end of the earth.  Although Quito is situated at an altitude of over 2800 metres, we have 3 days to acclimatise before we commence our riding on the 1st August 2014.

My bike is ready to go thanks to the support of 'Spearman Cycles' in Wollongong and I would also like to thank Matt DeMoss of Garmin Australia.  I recently purchased the Garmin 1000 and couldn't be happier with the product.

I would also like to thank Kieran McLeod for his work on the video and all his help and ideas on filming.

The entire trip will be filmed on 'GoPro' and short segments will be posted throughout the trip.

Until tomorrow, safe riding.
