Chomping at the bit-

Some great things up and coming! Key word being- up. Into the Cordillera Blanca! Largest mountain range in South America and second in the world. Needless to say I'm as excited as a pyro in a toilet paper factory.

   So as far as route finding? Its time to give credit where credit is due. Like many of us, I seem to keep finding myself on the path of the greats to come before.
    My maps are vague to say the least. So in finding good off road routes. I peruse an assortment of blogs from other awesome folks who have ridden this way before, seeking out the path less traveled.
    Often its the inspiration of beautiful photos. Places I'd like to smell and vast expanses I'd like to cross.
 
   As all of our journeys are quite different- The memory log is to each their own and taking is what we make of it. The efforts vary in load but the participation, effort and ambition is very much a common bond. All in one for the love of exploring, learning and living lives saurated in experience.

   Cheers to those who plow this wayward field, before or after. Man, thats sounds like a dinner toast... mmm... toast

  Here are to list but a few (the ones I look to for South American info):

   Joe: Pedaling in place
   Anna: Wishfish
   Cass: While out riding
  Sarah and James: Big Sur
  Sarah and Tom: Bicycle Nomad
  Jacob, Goat and Sean: Riding the Spine

  I guess its time I start a blog roll, huh?
