Revolution Cycle - News update

Our two Irish adventurers are now just over four and a half months into their epic journey to circumnavigate the globe by bicycle!

The beards have been grown, and guys are doing a great job of keeping us updated with news from the road. (Which can't be an easy thing to do)

Below is a brief except from their latest update from South America:

"March 12th, 2009

It’s time for a “monthly” update again. This one is written from Loki Hostel, a little haven of Irishness in La Paz. Osgur, Siobhan and Abril and all of the freindly staff welcomed us with open arms, toasted cheese sandwiches, bottled Guinness(drool) and comfy beds and our first hot shower in over two weeks. They even threw a table quiz to raise money for Aware in our honour. For which we are eternally grateful.

Since leaving the city of Salta and climbing into the Andés it has been the best of times and the worst of times. We enjoyed a gentle introduction to high altitude, acclimatising like good boys and girls as the road wound 200km up a valley floor in Northern Argentina. We crossed the Tropic of Capricorn, our first longtitudinal landmark , the next one will be the equator in Ecaudor in a few month’s time."
