That'll do. After almost 16,000km and 13 months on the road we have arrived home in the Hutt Valley of New Zealand. We arrived in Wellington Harbour on a beautiful day and formed a peloton of friends and family to ride 30km to Baden's sister's house in Upper Hutt to signal the end of our journey. It has been a weird ol' month since we've been back. Baden really misses the cycle touring lifestyle while Shelley's enjoying being in...

We’re almost a stone’s throw away from home in this week’s How Are You? Where Are You? podcast. A lot of road has been traveled between Christchurch and the top of the South Island and we’ve been blessed to meet some brilliant people as well as enjoying outstanding autumn weather. We thought we had left all the beautiful scenery behind when we left the West Coast but the mainland has continued to delight especially when riding th...

The West Coast of New Zealand's South Island covers the distance between the two major cities in the North Island, Wellington and Auckland, but this part of the country only has 33,000 thousand residents and bugger all cell phone coverage. This week's How Are You? Where Are You? podcast follows our journey up the coast and introduces some of the people we met along the way. All of them outstanding citizens. This trip home is blow...

Like the hopeful miners of the 1860s New Zealand Gold Rush, we too struck the precious metal while cycling through central Otago. In this 40th episode of the How Are You? Where Are You podcast we follow in the footsteps, or even the cycle tracks, of the kiwi pioneers along the mighty Clutha Mata-Au River where we find signs of the bygone days. What the hills surrounding the Clutha lack in altitude, they make up for in stature. Th...

We became members of a cycle touring gang in this week's How Are You? Where Are You? podcast. As we headed into the remote Catlins region of southern New Zealand we were joined by a couple of good buggers from the States. Brian and Nick taught us a great deal and we had a brilliant time riding through some of the most stunning landscapes these isles have to offer. Laughs and cheese rolls were shared on the journey and Nick's mec...

We've made it to New Zealand and without trying to sound deliberately cheesy, it's blowing our minds. Our journey so far has seen us arriving in Queenstown in the South Island (Te Waipounamu) and riding out into the Central Otago wilderness. We visited the magic of Fiordland and pedalled into the land of good buggers in Southland. This was recorded this a few days ago on Rakiura or Stewart Island - a beautiful blip of land at th...

Apologies in advance for a navel gazing episode of the How Are You? Where Are You? podcast. We’re finding it difficult to make sense of our trip and what we have learned. It’s also not easy to try and explain why we have decided to cut our journey short but we give it all a crack for you here. It’s strange to think that were are about to start cycle touring in our own country. After eight years away there’s a whole lot of reacqua...

We have found the end of our road in Latin America. This trip will be London to Lima. After an agonising decision, we have come to the conclusion that a year is enough and in this week's How Are You? Where Are You? podcast we discuss why our bikes will travel in a plane home from Peru's capital. The cycling journey isn't over however. We still plan to reintegrate into life in New Zealand by exploring New Zealand's South Island b...

We have left the desert behind and have climbed back into the mountains following the River Santa to Huaraz in Peru's famous Cordillera Blanca. It's the world's biggest mountain range outside of the Himalayas. Seems we can't get enough of the Andes. You get a bit of a cycle touring warts and all How Are You? Where Are You? podcast this week. Our stomachs have been rumbling (in a bad way) and Shelley experienced some strange esopha...

We have been hammering it through Northern Peru. How did we get so fit? It seems like a lifetime since we were plodding through France trying to get used to this whole cycle touring thing if you consider a life to be 10 months. Check out the map on our website howareyouwhereareyou.com to see our effort over the first 11 days of February. We talk about why we've been putting the pedal to the rubber-soled shoe if that's an acceptabl...

We say goodbye to the Andes and hello to the the hot and steamy coast in this week's How Are You? Where Are You? podcast. The Andes gave us one of our most traumatic days of our trip and then one of the most magical. All in the space of two days. We have seen some jaw-dropping sights and try our best to turn the vision into words. Luckily we have some photos to help out. Check them out on our blog at howareyouwhereareyou.com It'...

We have climbed to the second highest capital city in the world. Somehow by arriving in Quito we have acclimatised to become human mountain goats with some strange ability to breathe at 4000 metres. Quito took a while to capture our hearts but a walk around the city's historic centre and a visit to the home of Oswaldo Guayasamin, one of Ecuador's most celebrated artists, did the trick. As always we have met some interesting chara...

It felt like Colombia didn't want to let go of us and we certainly didn't want to let go of it. We arrived in Pasto on New Year's Day, only 100km from the border with Ecuador. We thought we would maybe rest a couple of days and go on our merry way but Colombia had more kindness and adventure in store for us yet. We ended up staying a week in Pasto (a long time off the bike for us) to immerse ourselves in their Carnaval de los Bla...

Welcome to our special edition #Festive500 podcast. The Festive500 is the brainchild of the cycle clothing designer Rapha and is designed to get people riding their bikes between Christmas Eve and New Years Eve at a time when most of us are keen to get on the turps and stuff ourselves full of mince pies. The challenge is to ride 500 kilometres in eight days and we thought we might as well take up the task here in Colombia since w...

It's all about Climbing, Coffee and Christmas in the latest Colombian instalment of the How Are You? Where Are You? podcast. We've scaled some pretty tough hills during our time here but they were all made to look like midgets next to the giant Alto de Letras. We bring you the story of how we inched up the world's longest road climb. Alto de Letras sits at the northern end of Colombia's coffee axis. They're the third biggest prod...

We come to you this week from Boggers a.k.a Bogota, the capital of Colombia and the third-highest capital city on this green earth. (If you don't count Bhutan's capital Thimphu, which we ignored in this podcast) It was a long but beautiful slog to haul ourselves up here and what a huge and disorganised city we found at the top of the climb. However, the people have been fantastically friendly and this place has a rich history to e...

Seriously, if you are planning to come to Colombia with the sole aim of snorting cheap crap up your nose, you are massively missing out. It's a cycle touring paradise and in this week's How Are You?

After eight months on the road, a new style of touring has dawned on us and we're bloody excited....

We've just gone and cycled across Central America! How about that? We look back on the best of times in this week's How Are You? Where Are You? podcast. We talk about how to cross the Darien Gap between Central and South America and why we opted to sail in a yacht through the San Blas Islands captained by a maniacal Italian instead of transforming our steeds into pedalos in an attempt to cross these supposedly smuggler-infested wa...

Baden has a run in with the Panamanian health system and his marriage comes under strain in this How Are You? Where Are You? podcast. We're in Panama, slogging our guts out pedal stroke by pedal stroke to reach the nation's capital and the end of the Central American part of our journey. On the way, we get lots of honks and toots, we meet an interesting Oklahoman living off his land, we try to fit a Panamanian hat a top of Baden'...
