On the morning of August 6th 2010 the months of waiting have ended! We cycled from our hotel in Quito to the Mitel del Mondo monument which is the symbol of The Equator and the start of our big adventure. The ride from Quito to the monument is North away from our eventual destination of Ushuaia, but after visiting the museum and some formal presentations we turn our bikes South and rode our first 27K back to our hotel. Day 1 was over and we were on our way at last!!
