The "worlds most dangerous road".....Not Nic´s favourite!

A must on most backpackers ´to do list´ in La Paz is to the bike ride down the worlds most dangerous road from La Paz to Yolosa. Won´t go into the scary death/injury statistics but needless to say it is safe enough given the amount of gringos that do it. The ones who get hurt normally have done something stupid from what we can tell. Check out our OTT outfits below.

It started well, cold but fun whizzing downhill on the asphalt. Even I was thinking, this is well easy!!

However when it turned to gravel, it turned!! Well for me anyways, Ed was fine of course.

The scenery is fantastic but I didn´t really get to look much given how much concentration I needed to ride over the gravel and rocks without falling off. Mountain biking is not really my forte!! Anyways there were really cool bits and we did get to ride through a waterfall like the above and round some amazing sheer drops. The below is called postcard corner, given the photo op it presents. Our mums´ have had the postcards, which have a far scarier picture on so look out for those please mums!
