The Pase de Jama,
the one with me at the signpost was me feeling very happy with meself for getting through the mud but only 40km up this road it just got worst..
the other is taken at about 4000metres the trucks are not moving there stuck they have to wait till the sol comes out and dries the mud or the rain comes again and they wait..

And this is the pase de Jama again,
you can see the clay I have removed from the brakes and the mudguard on the left beside the tyre, and till more to go the front wheel was just lock solid you can see the tyre is not even making a print in the mud just sliding, Yosi I asked about the way into Chile and have been told its not passable because of the rain this was by a fellow who runs a mining company up at the Sico Pase so God knows which way I will go, but thanks for the tip.
on the road
sure ya ave to

Mud and crap Roads

Being a Celt, if you've ridden in Ireland, you'll be used to conditions like that :D As always, brilliant pics Jose, every time I read your threads I keep promising myself....."one day".....

Take care.../Rob
 
Hi Jose, I'm a sad barstard :p I've only just picked up on your Ride Out :confused: so spent an hour in your company on the Road.
What a Life and you still got Time AND Inclination to post reports and pics. Your the Man :beer:
If you decide to come back, there should be enough money to be made as an after dinner speaker :D to never ever need to drive all them foreners around Lunnon :shoot:

Thanks and keep Posting, stay safe and enjoy :cool:
 
Still gripping the edge of my chair Joe.....are you and Mick meeting up again soon ?

You seem to be taking this in your stride ...I just wonder how ? :) :)

Be lucky fella !
