Patagonia on R1200GS | Ep. 1 - Paso Vergara and Laguna Teno

#GoSouth #PatagoniaRide #firsttimeoffroad

Welcome to the first episode of the great Patagonian ride. As you will probably discover by watching the video, this was my first serious off-road experience. The fact that the road took us to an altitude of 4000 meters made it considerably more difficult than if I had learned to ride off-road back home, in Europe. The bike was really heavy, too.

I made it to the top of the mountain and back down again with a lot of sweat, swearing and my knees shaking uncontrollably. Was it worth it? Hell, yeah! Would I do it again? You bet I would.

In retrospect, had I not had this incredibly difficult crash-course in off-road riding, I think I would have found some of the more technical stuff that we ended up doing later a lot more challenging. The moral of the story is that any new experience, no matter how difficult, gives you a set of skills you will sooner or later find very useful.

I would like to thank my friend Cristian Predoi (Instagram: @cristian.adventure) for his patience and for sharing all of his off-road riding knowledge with me.
