Over the Andes the Hard Way
Ross Bland
Thanks to all for such great support and especially to those who donated funds. In the end we did it!
I have noticed that there are still plenty of people reading this blog. Before and during our trip I read many blogs like ours in order to research what we were getting ourselves into. Seeing that there are still people visiting our site leads me to believe that other tour cyclists are doing research just like we did. If you fall under this category then do feel free to get in touch. I am more than happy to help as I remember how daunting the whole thing was.
Welcome to our Blog!!!!
Here you’ll be kept updated on our progress and experiences through the whole expedition. To raise funds for Diabetes UK, our aim is to cycle 1800 miles (ish) totally unsupported from Lima in Peru to Salta in North West Argentina in just under two months. You’ll be able to keep track of our training (or lack of) which will most likely highlight how unfit we really are and so proving how much of a challenge this adventure will be. On the trip itself (during the few times that we'’ll be near a computer), we’'ll post blogs illustrating to you our progress between certain mile stones, and as well as the highs and lows, hopefuly prove to fellow diabetics that diabetes should not hold anyone back from going on such adventures.
Every donation really helps in driving our morale which is vital in helping us in achieving our goal so please take the time to visit our just giving page at:
