Update from Peru
Photos: Robert Morgan
As promised Robbie, Adrian and David are capturing amazing images of life on two wheels in the mountains of Peru. Their new tech HydroFoil™ Endure waterproof, windproof and highly breathable shells are being put through their paces along with the ‘Solaris’ sun hoodie. Robbie supplied us with a photo essay update. It turns out Ground Effect Shellwear is de rigueur on the Peru Great Divide this winter!

Robbie, Adrian and David are on a two month long trip which began in Lima, Peru. A bus to Huarez, a mountain village in the Cordillera Blanca range positioned them and their bikes at the start point for their venture southwards to the Bolivian border and perhaps into Bolivia itself.
