Nobody has ever travelled the entire Argentinian Wine Trail before and I'm going to do it by bike. I'll be travelling about 3,000 km as the crow flies, between the Tropic of Capricorn (at 20 degrees South) and the southernmost vineyard in world (at 43 degrees South). The total expedition will be over 7,000km and will take a few months. More here: http://www.guardian-series.co.uk/display.var.658986.0.0.php
I'll be writing about it, blogging it and probably podcasting too. My other websites are: www.caroleedrich.com, www.webwandering.com and I'll be setting up a dedicated blog soon. There's no documented route, it's difficult to identify all the vineyards and different maps show paths that don't seem to match, but it will be fun. Travelling by cycle will enable me to get a real insight into the areas I traverse, some great shots and loads of stories.
To make this expedition possible I need personal sponsorship, so if you're interested in hearing about how the international publicity in 5 languages and 8 countries will benefit your brand, email me at webwandering@hotmail.co.uk

Experiencing the tsunami made me re-evaluate my life. I decided to have more fun and help more people ... watch this space!
This blog is for fundraising and fun. It should be interesting... After all, I've not been cycling for that long...
