Pedaling Through the Andes and Beyond.
Join me as I cycle through the diverse landscapes of South America, from towering mountains to lush jungles to sandy beaches, sharing the journey every mile of the way.
The name: Spokes and Shoes Sagas
The name Spokes and Shoes Sagas reflects the dual spirit of this adventure: the ‘spokes’ representing the wheels that will carry me across borders, and the ‘shoes’ symbolizing the footsteps that will bring me closer to South America’s heart. Together, they weave a saga of endurance, discovery, and the stories shared along the way.
