What Hacker News says?
From the author|rider [0]: > After 13 months, and 15,825 kilometers of pedaling, my South America bike tour is finished! that's 9,833 miles. The road distance distance from Cartagena, Columbia to Ushuaia [1] is ~ 10,433 km (by Google) so the actual distance pedalled over 13 months seems reasonable given side trips, indirect paths, back tracking, non main roads, etc. [1] [0] https://www.peterispedaling.com/blog/wet-w…

HN discussionAgreed. When I first glanced at the title, I was thinking about the RAAM (Race Across America), where the winners do roughly ~3000 miles in ~9 days (depending on course and year).[0] The actual logistics of this trip North/South along the western side of South America [1] are much different, and glancing at some of the blog entries and photos, very interesting. There's also YouTube videos. [2] [0] https://en.wikiped…
