83km and 900m of climb finally tested the limits of the ebike battery. Ran out of juice 20m from the hotel door! Beautiful bright blue waters in the Embalse de Buendia.

We are heading from the Sierras down towards Cuenca. The temperatures are leaping up. We'll probably be doing more early starts to beat the heat.

Over the sierras from Ávila to Segovia to the north of Madrid. E-bikes make the miles and hills so much easier!

Our longest ride yet: 90km and 850m of climb. Reached the beautiful village of Mogarraz. After a long day in the saddle, I am too tired to offer more than one pic!

Arrived in the spectacular city of Salamanca. Huge, vibrant, and cafés every 10 metres from what I can see.

Life on bikes: we reached Zamora, did some quick repairs to the bikes, checked into our Airbnb (views to and from the balcony). 2 nights here so we have been to the supermarket and are veggin' out.

Longest ride of the trip yet: 85km and 31c in the shade. But arrived in a nice hotel with a bar looking out over the Duero river (called Duoro in Portugal).

From León through the plains and along rivers and canals to Valladolid. We are discovering beautiful Spanish towns and a LOT of storks nesting on 16th century churches.

We made it over the Cantabrian Mountains to Léon. Few days of r&r before we push on down to the plains towards Salamanca.

Sun is shining, storks are nesting. Arrived at Aguilar de Campoo. Got 2 nights here to "rest", but with ebikes it all feels rather easy.

A short side trip to hike around Fontibre, the source of the Ebro River that runs all the way from Cantabria to Valencia. The sunshine and snowcapped mountains are lovely.

On December 14th, Chile goes to the polls with a choice between Jara, on a platform of helping the most vulnerable in society, and Kast. Kast is a little fascist who reveres Pinochet, denies climate change, blames migrants, and is being helped by the far right USA. 🤞#votajara

A year on the road pt 9: In September we took a road trip around Uruguay, a small but beautiful country. The birthplace of Fray Bentos pies, and an often overlooked part of the world. Video of our trip: https://youtu.be/Mjv0ZsYotj4?si=50iWreJMgW2jcM2R

A year on the road pt 8: In August we crossed into Argentina through the Atacama Desert. A change of pace after Bolivia, we worked our way slowly eastward to the Entre Rios region just north of Buenos Aires. The first half of this trip described in video: https://youtu.be/pzi_YlEXytc?si=F23EOKwPVz9CUvDv

A year on the road pt 7: It's July, and we are still in Bolivia. In 2 months we explored only the 40% or so of Bolivia that is not the Amazon. The Uyuni Salt Flats were definitely the highlight and one of the most awesome things we have ever done : https://youtu.be/ya4RkC7_qC4?si=R7I02LcGfKMEOO_8

A year on the road pt 6: In June we started our travels through Bolivia in La Paz, Lake Titicaca, and Toro Toro national park. It's a beautiful and fascinating country but tough of the body! Well worth a visit if you can take it! Here's a video of the city and Titicaca's Isla del Sol: https://youtu.be/0Xlk38dt5lg?si=Fq9VzaEWk4yUaBgQ

A year on the road pt 5: We hit Panama in May, shortly after Trump was talking about annexing the canal. A beautiful old city, stunning countryside, and a side-trip to the infamous Darien Gap (in the video)…

A year on the road pt 4: April in Nicaragua. Explosive politics and volcanoes, but a tranquil and beautiful country. If it comes to war between the US and Latin America, voy a luchar con mis companeros! Favourite video from the country: https://youtu.be/BRWNi_O3YEo?si=QWCeGmPz5vB8sGc7

A day of art galleries in Argentina. Under the (of course, right wing) dictatorship of the 70s and 80s, books were banned, people lived in fear, 10s of 1000s of people were tortured and murdered. The current president, Milei, admired by Trump and Farage, says it wasn't so bad. The graphic imagery of rape and torture is not as shocking as the ease with which these people get back into power.
