Bolivia, The World's Most Dangerous Road

The World's Most Dangerous Road is a 40 mile single-lane road with a drop off up to 2,000 feet in places. It's been dubbed this because lots buses and a few cyclists have gone over the edge, building up a large amount of fatalities over the years. I didn't find it too bad as we had really good bikes and guides, although I can understand how easy it would be for people to go over if they weren't confident riders or had a dodgy bike. Guttingly they wouldn't let Clare ride, they considered her too high risk as she was still ill and hadn't been able to eat for a few days. There's a lack of photos for this as it was kind of tricky to photograph whilst cycling. This ride is a bit of a tourist attraction and is more of a 'tick in the box done that' thing. [Tom]
