The World´s Most Dangerous Road

Starting up above the clouds...

...many of the drops are over 1km straight down

Remarkably, trucks still use this road. I have a superb video clip of these trucks negotiating a hair-pin bend about 3cm wider than the width of the trucks themselves

Looking fierce in our gear

AKA - Death Road. I´m not sure which was scarier, cycling down this ridiculously dangerous road or the trip back to La Paz in the van, up what I would rate as the second most dangerous road in the world. The driver was a complete maniac, over-taking on blind rises, taking photos and changing cds while repeatedly veering perilously close to the edge of the cliff, over 1000m straight down. I had to restrain myself from throttling him when we finally got back, but in the end I was just too happy to say that I had survived the worlds two most dangerous roads.
