The week in the UK gave me an opportunity to see friends and family whilst also preparing for the trip ahead. The bike has gone through many upgrades to hopefully make it durable to the South American roads although I’ve been advised that Colombia roads are lovely to cycle. A dynamo has been added to the front wheel which is wired up to a USB connecter I keep in a water-proof bag. In addition the tyres have been beefed up with Schwalbe Marathon Plus 32c.
My flight takes off at 21h40 tonight. I’ll update when I arrive in Bogota. Please follow my location with the following link: http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0iZbpr6Jc5ZAFxmu0npzk3czBfzM5HJJT
When I’m out and cycling this will provide a live GPS stream of my position.
