Planning for Patagonia


Only 29 days left now before I fly out to Punta Arenas. Thought I'd start this blog to capture the journey online.

Bike's ready, trailer's ready. Flights booked. Just need to sort out the last bits of my luggage, things like which camera to take & how many batteries do I need. Will need to also sort out clothes, hopefully it'll be sunny all the way, but I'm sure I'll hit some cutting head winds so will need a full range.

Big question is will I be able to make the whole distance? I've already charted 3000km with 36500 metres altitude gained and my last end point at Entre Lagos is not where I need to be, which is either Chiloe (closest) or Santiago, which is another 800+km push North.
