365 days to go...

September 2, 2023

I've been planning this trip for 7 years now. Actually, I was going to do this ride 2 years ago. Then Covid hit.... so... after a 2 year delay, and I'm not getting any younger ,Im set to ride off in 2023. I am so excited. And nervous. Will my body hold out? Can I do this? Can I learn enough Spanish? Do I have enough gear? Do I have too much gear? Is Mexico as dangerous as everyone is telling me?

Kelly IniguezDo you have a photo of the bike you plan to ride? You are allowed to be in the photo, as long as you don't block the view!

Kelly IniguezWhen you are typing your journal page, right above the area for text is a bunch of blue/gray symbols. One of them is a camera. Click on that.

I find it easiest to load the photos direct from my camera. Some people transfer them to their computers for editing, then load them to the journal.

Jean-Marc StrydomDon't believe everything you hear about Mexico. The naysayers have probably never been there.

Spanish is one of the easier languages for English
speakers to pick up.

By the time you have passed the the USA you will have sorted out your gear. However much you are left with it will still be too much.

And yes, your body will hold out.

Steve Miller/GrampiesWritten in a friendly, helpful spirit. You are actually trying to ride to Ushuaia, not Ushaia. The u is missing in your title. Sounds like a really ambitious journey, but should be doable and interesting. Wishing you all the best of luck.
