Had a pretty long border crossing into Ecuador even though the lines were fast, just many steps.

Sit back and turn up the volume as I chase down some kids riding through the hills of Colombia.
BTW, this kid pulled over and gave me a thumbs-up, did a short prayer, and then asked me to lead the way…
Just for reference, the grades on these hills run from 5-19%, the camera just doesn’t capture it 🙁
Pasto Boyz
Not getting lazy with the names, just don’t want to confuse anyone!
Apparently stairs in this town are one-way.
Almost forgot, we tried some local drink… pretty strong stuff.

@ $.50/glass you’ll be pretty wasted after only one.
Cali Boyz
It was a rather late start to that day, but I managed to find some helmet footage..
And not sure what language butterflies speak, but it appears to be ice cream.
Got out early the next day to head to Pasto…
Bogataz
Of course, the weekend we shipped the bikes was a long holiday – everything was closed Monday.
Graffiti is legal in most SA countries, some decent stuff on display in Bogota.
Great food all around, but Anna & Otto’s pizza was a highlight.
Walked around Santa Barbara market…
My bike had some damage to the top case, Alex’s was fine.
Panamaz ++
It’s been a while since the last post, sorry about that! Got some pics and stuff from the last days in Panama, so much fun spending time with the fam.
Forgot about this one from the island…
Birds flying along with the ferry, trying to catch fish pushed off the bow.

Adios Central Americaz
Met up with some fellow bikers from Chiapas, MX. They really had their bikes loaded up! They are heading down through Brazil and then back up the opposite route.
Here are the bikes at the final staging area before they get on the plane to Bogota.
If you ever get a chance to visit, Casco Viejo is definitely the place to stay, great part of the city.
There’s always some lightning over the old town at night…
We were here about 6 years ago, and the place has dramatically changed. More restaurants, and some of the places from the new part have moved to old town.
Dronez – Tobago Island
Spent the day at the beach, where the currents come together….
You can see the boats lining up in the distance to head to the canal.
The wind was rather strong, and the birds were not happy, so sorry about the short footage….
You can see where we launched from.
And one of the boats… little bumpy!
Bikerboyz – Progress
As we take some downtime, here’s the map again…

We’re about 1/2 way after 50 days – today, in fact! Why does it look like it should be shorter now? Well, the equator plays a huge role in this. Look at how long Chile really is. – from https://www.thetruesize.com/
