Buenos Aries .. The end of the expedition

.
Saturday 5th December
Sierra de la Ventanna to Buenos Aires

It was an early start so we could ride as group later on, however it was raining hard and we all had to put our wet weather gear on. The early start saw some running out of petrol, as no station were open, luckily Simon and I both with the limited tanks had filled up the evening before. The fuel situation even caught out Jeff in the support van and whilst we were stopped at the petrol station he was spotted in a local’s car filling up a jerry can of diesel! The heavy rain continued all the way and we all met up at the rendezvous café dripping wet. Once lunch was eaten we rode into Buenos Aries as a group although it continued to rain to the end and I think this a fitting end as it was raining as we rode out of Anchorage at the start so it is raining as we rode into Buenos Aries at the Finish. We all parked up for the final time and spent some time congratulating each other with a great deal of emotion lots of hand shaking and hugging before empting the bike and retiring to the local restaurant to celebrate.
