521 days and 25,698 km were needed to traverse the Americas by bicycle

If you keep running without giving up, you are sure to arrive at your destination with the charm of a bicycle trip. We started Vancouver in Canada on 24th September 2012 and reached Ushuaia, Argentina, on February 27, 2014 to achieve inter-continental Americas. If you can do it I wanted to start from Anchorage in Alaska, but it can not be helped. Let's just say that you did not carry over the seasons and just ran as planned. Rocky Mountains, Grand Canyon, Andean Mountains, Machu Picchu, Uyuni Salt Lake, Patagonia and everyone's aims are the only routes that aim and runs were satisfactory.

Hello,Around the World Bicycle WorldIt is Takuya Sudo @ Chaliderman. If cyclists ahead of the southernmost tip of South America, there is a god that was a baker who can stay overnight and a combo of legendary Japanese inn in Ushuaia. At the same time as the inter-continental Americas, the journey around the world which I first imagined was completed as well. I can not finish because there are places I want to go, but one section has arrived.

The trajectory of the inter-continental Americas in this way. Panama to Colombia are using airplanes.

◆Ushuaia arrival
From El Calafate who finished trekking Fitzroy and sightseeing the Pelito Moreno Glacier to the south east to Rio Gallegos. From there further South America continues to end southward.

Cross the Strait of Magellan to Fuego Island.


A huge group of sheep that will not be able to sleep even when it counts.


Fuego island is a cyclist paradise, and surely I met someone on the day.


There are many strong fighters who have scored goals and the cyclists here are different in dignity.


I thought that it was a gas station 100 meters ahead, "100 kilometers ahead" ....


A tent at the side of the river and stretched out.


I point the camera to the scenery that felt the farthest.


Tolwin (Tolhuin) is located about 100 km of Ushuaia.


A bakery in this town "La Unión"Is famous for staying a cyclist free of charge, and I became indebted to one night.


There is only a bakery and a mountain of flour. By the way, the bread sold here is also excellent.


Five bicycles parked. The day I stayed was with two Colombians, a Dutch one, a Canadian.


This is the bedroom. Sleeping bag is necessary because it is not an inn, but it is enough to have a bed that does not get wet by rain. The hot shower which I took for the first time in a few days was also the best.


The hot scribble of the cyclists drawn on the wall.


I also graffiti. Image is a charriderman who is pleased with the tail wind.


At the same time as you arrive "Are you hungry?" And the insertion of chicken meat. Not only that, it was absolutely fulfilling that we could serve until dinner.


In this case, I found the accident that the sprocket is loose and dealt with the monkey wrench someone left behind. I got air tickets from Ushuaia to the capital city of Buenos Aires, so I got gasoline for cooking that I can not bring in an airplane. Only by sighing in Trouwin, you can calm down to Ushuaia. I had no choice but to thank the bakery "La Union".

Although there was only a steppe forest, the southern part of Fuego is a forest area and the scenery is rich in variety.


It was a road that would normally be a headwind from Tolwyn, but on this day the wind did not blow and arrived at Ushuaia.


Thanks to the car I brought to this place while holding a trouble in various places.


Commemorative photo taken in front of a sign called "fin del mundo" at the park near the harbor. It was the moment when the trip of the Americas Continent was over.


Although it is the end of summer, the maximum temperature is 9 ° C.


It seems that crabs are famous here.


I also heard that "car gasoline is coming from Buenos Aires by boat", a container base that became a matter of concern. Because it is nearly 3000 km if it is a land road, it may be more efficient to carry a large amount at once with a route.


Ushuaia is staying at Ueno Sanso, a Japanese inn.


This is a common room.


The wall is full of commemorative photos left by the travelers.


There are bikers, stuff like charrider notes. After my acquaintance's charader's foot, I had a paid vacation at Miki House and traveledTakashi SakamotoIt is terrible because there are still messages left. Of course I also wrote it.


Uenosanso is an inn made by Ueno and Mrs. Emi who emigrated to Ushuaia, the cyclist who I admireTakeshi AwaiI am indebted to in 1994, two decades ago. Since my husband passed away in 2002 and my wife died in 2010, travelers are in charge as administrators, so rumors of closing were flowing depending on the succession, so it was really true that I was able to visit this time I was fortunate.

It can also reach the backs of the cyclists who have been chasing forever, making it a nice place to make the journey a whole area. And when I was around Japan around 2002, I heard only a fragmentary story that "I walked in the Americas and died at the construction site", I found a person who remained in the corner of my head all year long at the Kamisanso I felt that it was guided.

◆Oversea recommended route
Following Africa's Kiyomi Peak, I also reached Ushuaia, South America, so I tried summarizing the places and places I would like to recommend if I run abroad on a bicycle. It is not just yourself that you are vulnerable to the monument and the unspoiled monument with an edge.

Australia:There was a working holiday and I ran 19,919 kilometers with a stay of 592 days. You can pursue the horizon as much as you want, such as the central highway with Ayers Rock and the Narabe plain with no more than 1000 km.


Silk road:The Silk Road which passes through Uyghur Autonomous Region of China from Central Asia, Iran, Turkey is a reliable route that allows crossing Asia on land. Traveling across Asia is too south, Myanmar and Pakistan's land route is difficult, and in the north the Russian visa is troublesome. As you go along the Silk Road, you will pass through Samarkand in Uzbekistan, also known as the "Blue City."


Istanbul:Turkey's Istanbul will be the goal across Asia and the start of a European trip. It was an exciting place where history and culture such as Islam and Christianity, the East and the West intersect. The sea breeze blowing through the Bosporus Strait is also pleasant and has become one of the cities where I want to visit.


Norcup:Norway's Norcup is the northernmost part of Europe. Strictly there are other northernmost places, but since there are memorials, everyone will come here. Since the south latitude of Ushuaia in South America from 54 degrees 80 minutes, 71 degrees 10 minutes north latitude in the North Cup is close to the polar region and even the Arctic Circle has been crossed, so it is said that white waters will come to the summer solstice.


Cape Roca:The westernmost point of the Eurasian continent is the cape of Roca, Portugal. Starting Asia, reaching here is the achievement of crossing the Eurasian Continent. I gathered my thoughts on the continent I have not seen yet here.


Sahara:Sahara desert traverses from Morocco to Senegal in West Africa. Take the south, you can get a good wind. Likewise it is attractive to south of the Sahara from Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and East Africa.


African elephant:It is Africa's journey that people in the area asked "Traveling by bicycle, are not you afraid of wild animals?" A wild African elephant was wandering along the roadside of Mikumi National Park in Tanzania.


Cape of Good Hope:Cape Town near Cape Town is a place suitable for the goal of the African continent, and I was the last point in Africa's journey that ran 22,639.25 kilometers from Morocco. By the way, the southernmost tip of Africa is Cape Agaras, but there are minor things that makes it hard to make a goal.


Grand Circle:In the area called the Grand Circle from the southern part of Utah to the northern part of Arizona in the United States, the artistic landscape created by the nature such as the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon National Park and Arches National Park is spreading.


Andean Mountains:Everyday I start fighting with Colombia and fighting with Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and the Andes. It was trained to the extent that the pass which can not climb even one day came out and crossed the pass of altitude 4910 m which is the highest in life. I can not forget the clear blue sky that I saw in the Andean highlands.


As we arrived at Ushuaia, the journey to date has reached 11,560,8.65 km in 96 countries, but since there are places I want to go, I will continue my journey a little more. Tickets to Tunisia, which is the 100th country from Brazil at the end of April, have been obtained. I will finish it one by one, and I will summarize the trip in a satisfying way.
