Some bike ride

Met an interesting guy yesterday. He had been in Cusco for 10 days, now on his way out

- Well I should head to Lima pretty soon, because I need to my plane back to Australia
- What do you mean? Aren't you gonna fly ... or take a bus?
- Naah, I'm biking
- How long is that gonna take you?
- Well, if i was in a hurry, it would have been 2 weeks, but I'm gonna take it easy, so it's gonna be 3.

This guy is actually biking ALL the way across the Andean peaks mountains from Cusco to Lima. Most people fly it, because it takes 2-3 days by train or bus. Don't forget the rare air, and the altitude, this is a gargantuan feat. Oh yeah, and some of this biking is slighty uphill (remember those mountains that stop the clouds? Yup, it's the same ones). I hope this guy is alive by the time he makes it to Lima.
