Map of the Americas showing the route of the journey

My bike and I fly into Anchorage, Alaska from where I will head out on to the famous Alaska Highway then it's south all the way to Argentina.

Firstly, Canada and the Rocky Mountains, stopping off in Vancouver before crossing the border back into the USA. From there it's down the Pacific coast through Washington State and Oregon all the way to California with San Francisco and Los Angeles pencilled in for party stops.

Then it's a quick flick through the Spanish phrase book and over the border into Mexico followed by the handful of small Central American countries: Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.

As no road exists between Central and South America I'll be flying the bike out of Panama City to Ecuador. My route continues down the western side of South America taking in the Peruvian Andes and the Atacama Desert in Chile - the driest place on earth. My final border crossing sees me entering Argentina and finally, the road to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world.

All routes, plans, detours and crackpot schemes are subject to change without notice! Watch this space for more details...
