The Route

 

Alaska to Tierra del Fuego - it's still the stuff of legend, and will be for years to come.  As the crow flies, it's almost 10,000 miles (16,000 kilometers) from the barren Alaskan oil fields of Prudhoe Bay, to Ushuaia, "La Ciudad Mas Austral del Mundo" ("The Southernmost City in the World"), nestled between the Beagle Channel and the Martial Mountains.

At the conclusion of this tour, riders (and bikes!) continuing on to Stage 3 will be conveyed around the Darién Gap to Colombia.

En route, we'll convene tech sessions on puncture repair and tire changing.  We'll coach you in the arts of field maintenance and repair.  In the event of a break-down, we have the ability to recover you and your bike.
