I'm looking for someone to hook up with to do a cycling trip in 2006. The plan is to cycle from Mexico to Argentina. I'm getting on a bit (30 something), so take a fairly relaxed and easy going approach, but have a pretty good idea of what’s involved after doing a big overland motorbike trip a few years ago. You’re looking at maybe spending around £1000 on the bicycle, tent and other gear. The distance is going to be around 9,000 miles, 50-70 miles a day, which is easier than you might imagine and will take around 9 months. Spending will be under £15 a day, in some areas way under. Some of the trip includes taking the bikes on boats across the huge glacial lakes, up rivers in the Amazon and around the Darien Gap where the Panama Canal is.

You only need an average fitness level and can build up as you go. The main thing is just deciding to go for it, as after all, you only live once! If you or anyone you know if interested, please get in touch.

Also, any advice on the trip is very welcome.

This sounds very cool... I sent you a private message with my email address to keep me updated. My concern would be saftey... particularly in southern Mexico, which is highly militarized.
