We are Andi Delis, 44, Quantity Surveyor and Ellen Delis,
43, Chartered Accountant. Ellen was born and grew up in Beijing;
I am born and bred in Christchurch.
From Dawson we will be heading down via the west coast and making it in time for Laguna Seca MotoGP 2012 where we will be meeting up with a friend Shann Florer, we will also be looking around Sequoia Park and Yosemite Park and Bonneville before heading down to Mexico, Panama the into Colombia to start the South American part of our journey.
Plan is to ride down the west coast and try and have Christmas Day 2012 in Ushuaia depending on how the traveling goes, from Ushuaia we plan to turn around and zig zag our way back up with no particular place to go.
Pictured below Ellen and I with my trusty ol DR650 which stays home alone and livened up again on our return back to our home in Wanaka New Zealand.
A small video .... not very hooligan but something to celebrate Ellen's full licence, she is my hero and my queen for an outstanding job and now riding the ol Dr650 with authority (not to mention legally), so this was a trip we did to Te Waewae Bay, great day out and a beautiful place, GO Chiwi!!!!

Have a great time on your trip!

Sounds like you guys are already having a great adventure. Hopefully we will see you along the way in South America. We are planning on leaving in September from Colombia, traveling the west coast and being in Ushuaia 12/21/2012 (you know, the end of the world). We are calling our trip Ride to the end of the world ^2 www.rideeow.blogspot.com.
Sure looks like fun. I hope to see you along the way or meet up in Ushuaia as well. I'm departing from San Francisco Oct. 21.
Now webpage yet, but you can email me at randy@randyandcindy.com if you want to stay in touch.
Safe Travels.

Hey we passed you on the road just east of Braeburn in the Yukon! We are in Rexburg just finished the Gravelly Range Road! Awesome. Sara & Daniel worldwideride.ca
Sayulita is a must! Yelapa is amazing too, but reportedly quite challenging by road even with an experienced guide. Most of the year access is by water only...but check out Cafe Bahia there!
Hey there, this is Jim in Denver. It's still dry up here if you want to come visit. Happy Holiday and I'll be in Phoenix late March 2013 if you can hang on for a bit.
Cheers!
Jim

Hi you two,
