Over 5 years have passed since I cycled around the UK and Ireland and the time has come to get back in the ol' saddle.

Mongo bikers!
I've been weaving in and out of Bolivia for a few years, and I'm so impressed that you covered so much of that great country on your bikes! But what a way to go--really seeing the country and the people close up. How wise to take Spanish lessons--that will really enrich your journey too!
