Riding into the sky at 16,000 feet...part 2

Recommended Posts

Evening all,

Lisa and I are just prepping some photos for a magazine article here in the USA and thought I'd share them here.

These were taken during our ride through the Altiplano(approx' 16,500 feet alt.) in Bolivia but we'd simply not got around to looking at them let alone posting them anywhere.

Right now we're in the States trying to sort out shipping ourselves and the bikes to Japan and then onto Eastern Russia and Mongolia.

It's one fo the most visually stunning places either Lisa or i have ridden so far. It was hard to take a bad picture just because of the incredible colour and texture of what was around us.

Heaven on Earth? Not far off. Bloody cold though but it was a small price to pay for the privelidge of beeing able to ride through it.

The altitude and lack complete lack of pollution made for some wonderful photos.

Yep...breathtaking! We both feel incredible lucky.

Would love to go back one day and film riding through it again.

Cheers
