    An article by The Age on the Antarctica phase of the expedition (in print Sunday’s paper today!) Thank you to everyone who is here with me at the beginning of this journey. Apologies for the radio silence, since commencing the ride I’ve been absorbed in the moment following South America’s mountainous spine northward approx 4500kms through spectacular Patagonian Andes. I’ve just arrived in Santiago to replace a punctured wheel rim, service the bike and prepare for the onward passage. Finally some down-time with wifi to share the journey to date with you and bring the feed to realtime.
