Mmmmmmm, salt…..
High in the Andes Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni is one of the more surreal cycling experiences. There’s about 5000 square kilometers of this stuff. The only regret I have about this 1997/8 cycle tour was that I didn’t try to ride clean across it – a two day effort by all accounts. Maybe next time.
