I'm Bicycling from Los Angeles to Rio De Jaineiro!!!
I'm doing a 10,000 mile bike ride through 12 countries and making a documentary film out of it!!! We need all the support we can get to make it
possible and i'd be the last person to spam a forum, but i'll definitely be making stops for some kite fun on the way down  i already have a place lined up in La Ventana where i'll be able to borrow someones
gear If anyone has any knowledge of advice or anything like that we'd LOVE to
hear it. It's gonna be one hell of a journey!

Thanks a lot guys, i'm extremely excited about it I've biked across america so i
kinda know whats in store for me but, that was all america, where the longest we went without at least a gas station was 150 miles... so this will be
an educational trip
Cost wise, lunchbox, we don't think it will be that bad. Crossing america cost me about 2 grand and that was staying at quite a few hotels etc. this
time we're gonna aim to not stay in any hotels, not to mention food etc. is super cheap down there. However, we're budgeting about 10,000$ each,
mainly for the documentary side of things though and replacing (inevitably) stolen equipment/electronics. :eekdrull: |
