Newcastle riders Damien and Yvonne Harvey recently rode South America’s famous Ruta 40. Starting at sea level, RN40 crosses some 20 national parks, 18 rivers and 27 stunning passes in the longest continental mountain range in the world. Graeme Sedgwick gets very excited at the thought of a ride like that and sat with Damien to get some details.
The trickiest part of the adventure was in the Torres Del Paine National Park, about two-thirds of the way through the ride.
