On sabbatical from teaching, I am cycling the Americas for OXFAM. My journey started in Vancouver, crossing America along the Great Divide Trail, before spending 2.5 months exploring the vast country of Mexico. From there I spent 3 months riding through Central America before tackling the mighty Andes mountain range of South America. I'll fly home from Lima, Peru in June. OXFAM helps many of the poverty-stricken countries I am visiting, please sponsor me! www.justgiving.com/modentour

New Mexico
I crossed into New Mexico on Saturday, just a few photos to show the changing nature of the landscape.
Panorama at the start of Brazos Ridge. Brutal track conditions - uneven, rocky road. The other, unbroken, side of my front pannier rack succumbed to the trail. It is a mangled, disfigured mess yet still completely serviceable! Just remember to bring cable ties and in the road repairs are a doddle.
Food is a huge motivation when I need to put miles in. I'd heard this splendid Mexican restaurant was closed on Mondays so made sure I made it there by Sunday lunchtime. It's Mexican food all the way for me now, I really like it. I'd heard that American portions would be huge in restaurants right across the States; I can't say I've had any problems clearing my plate.
