FYI: We are heading out today. Our next update will be from El Calafate, Argentina in about 7-10 days. We'll post status updates in Facebook if we get wi-fi access along the way. We spent a month in Ushuaia waiting for our bike. When the derailleur hanger broke, ordering a new one and having it shipped to us here in Punta Arenas raised concerns. Don't want to deal with Customs again! But would a small bike shop at the southern tip of South America's mainland carry such a specific part? Nope, and they weren't sure if they could order such a part either. But as luck would have it, a man in the shop offered to help. He and his kids are avid motorcross-ers and have a welder friend who can weld anything! As you can imagine, motorcross bikes break a lot; and when you're living at the end of the world, welding is how you fix things.
