Well, we’re ready. The bikes have been obtained and outfitted with special tires. We’ve got insurance on the bikes. We have a plan.
Tomorrow morning (hopefully in the morning) we’ll be leaving Bogota and headed to the town of Honda (pronounced “onda” even though I really, really want to call it “Honda”) in the department of Tolima. It’s a three-hour ride; a perfect length of time for a shakedown cruise.
Sunday morning we’ll hit the road again and finish up in Medellin, where we’ll be staying for a week.
I have no idea if I’ll have Internet access during the trip. I’m planning to be cut off, but hoping otherwise.
I’m a little nervous. All our planning and preparation has lead up to this. I hope for an uneventful trip.
I’ll update this post when I have Internet access again.
UPDATE
We made it to Medellin safely! The Internet access at our hostel is sketchy, so it’s been difficult to get online to write the blog. Once I figure out a solution, I should have some more to say about the trip here.
In short, we had a lot of great views and it was a really fun drive!
