Cycling Colombia for charity

For those that are interested in cycling in Colombia here is a website for a group of English guys currently riding from Sth Argentina to Caracas.

www.southamerica5000.org

The group stayed in my hostal in San Gil last night after coming up from Ecuador to Armenia then across to Bogota. They are now headed to Sta Marta before following the coast to Caracas.

They said they have had no problems on the journey and that the Colombian hospitality was fantastic.

They are raising money for a number of causes including Planinternational (not associated with PlanColombia) but you can find all the info on there website.

Pretty interesting Checked out the site, it's a pretty cool thing they're doing. They're going to have some great memories from this as well as the satisfaction of knowing they helped people out. It's too bad though that we are now just aware of it as their journey is drawing to an end, well almost, probably seems like a long way to go for them. I wish them luck.
