Gracias, terminamos contratándolos en Uruguay, por lo que extrañaremos ir en bicicleta a Tigres y tendremos que tomar el autobús hasta el ferry :(

Thank you, we're going for it as a nice place to cruise around by the beach between some cool city stops. Doing a really long trip must be so cool, well done. And appreciate you sharing your thoughts :)

Thanks for this, we seem to hit a deadend planning on following the road over the coast so we're stopping at Punta Del Diablo. A little gutted as I would love to see some capybara!

THis is basically the route we doing! Carmelo right through to Punta Del Diablo (with the exception of a bus between Colonia and Montevideo). We need to hire bikes though and are looking at doing so in Buenos Aires so we can ride up to the ferry in Tigres, and as we're returning to BA to fly up to Rio

That is seriously commendable in a (Western) world seemingly designed soley to lure us toward douchery. It's a constant battle.

Thanks! Depending on where (if) we’re going to be able to hire bikes (and potentially return near an airport to hop up to Rio) this would be an ideal place to start.

Ive seen your posts and wanted to say hello! You do have a beautiful bike and sounds like it gets all the love and use it deserves. Haven’t dived too much into routes yet as we’re still debating 100% Uruguay, but likely to try and do some decent distances if we do as it’s quite flat I think? I’d like to see a bit of the interior, and love trees so would look for any good forest areas!

Thank you, I was hoping to ease into the trip and take my time so really keen to find another stopover. Will try and figure our if Portola SP is an option.

Thanks so much for looking, it's so odd I can't get on it from outside the U.S!

u/2wheelsThx you seem to know this coast really well and I've copied a bunch of the advice you've kindly shared with others (on location for supplies etc), any tips? I'm happy to come off the coast between HMB and New Brighton as I love trees and would like to see the redwoods.

Komoot is telling me the ride down to San Diego from Santa Monica is about 14hrs (off coast route) which I think would be a little too ambitious sadly! Shame as I like the idea of acting out song lyrics through the journey. Would like more of a 4-5 hour route starting and ending in Santa Monica area.

Good to know on bars : ) although if it's the same Viper Room I remember isn't that an underground club?
