Warning: epic landscapes may cause amnesia in some. When you find yourself almost at 5000m and surrounded by white capped peaks, with the silence only broken by the gentle rumbling of distant avalanches, you are at risk of forgetting all the bullshit that you put up with on the way here and you’ll end up doing it all over again. #bikepacking #bikepackinglife #peru #cordillerablanca #travel #outdoors #adventure #cyclinglife #cycling #biketour #bbctravel #bikewander #pedalforever #outsideisfree #bike #biketouring

On the map it looks like the cartographer sneezed but no, this is how they do mountain roads in Peru. The weather gods have made it quite a grim introduction to the Cordillera Blanca but you can just about see some white tipped peaks through the rainclouds. #biketouring #biketour #peru #mountains #bikepacking #travel #adventure #switchbacks #roadslikethese #outdoors #outsideisfree

There’s a lot of noise in Peru, so much that at any opportunity we take to the hills to escape the incessant honking of passing traffic and shouts of ‘gringo!’. Four thousand meters above sea level seems to be the magic number; here you find el Silencio. Blog on this will be up later today.#biketouring #biketour #bikepacking #worldbybike #pedalforever #bikewander #cycling #cyclinglife #outdoors #adventure #peru #southamerica #americas #outsideisfree

So far in South America, mountains have had the handy ability of acting as massive, 5000 meter breakwaters to whatever storms happen to be brewing below. These clouds looked threatening but they were blocked by the perfectly triangular rock we were climbing at the time, known as Chimborazo. Sadly the end of dry season is no longer something I can ignore and plans will have to me made to make the most of the time when the dirt roads are open and the views spectacular. I’m currently in Peru’s Cordillera Blanca, so that should be difficult. Picture dump imminent. #bikepacking #bikepackinglife #biketouring #biketour #bikewander #pedalforever #adventure #mountains #southamerica #cycling #outdoors #travel #cyclinglife #ecuador #chimborazo
