Enquiring minds wish to know. (no pressure)

Logan - have read a bunch about Altitude and the best I can say is that in India I did use Diamox for a few days as we approached the 11,000-13,000 foot level. But just for a few days then off it. The other real big thing is hydration. Drinking tons of water ...... This helps the body to Acclimatize. you also need to pee often

I feel really good at the Altitude. Have had a few nights were I did not sleep great, and sometimes dreams are a bit strange. Couple nights ago I had a terrible time getting any sleep, but I had not had any Mate de Coco or anything else like coffee .....so I just do not really know what it was. Usually I am a great sleeper :)

Hope that helps. And Altitude sickness is a serious thing to consider. I know that most of the hotels here have some type of Oxygen in case people are having issues.

Radioman needs Red Bull sponsorship so we can watch live streaming of his ride. #redbullradioman Then his fans wouldn't have to wait.

Montek · 10-15-2012, 09:27 AM

thats awsome!!! Officially, you have made me so jealous, so green with envy, I can no longer read this ride report. Unoficially, I must ride S.A. soon and fully support your efforts and will follow this rr when NOT in the presence of the wife. She gets tired of my whining and ohs and awe's!

Thanks for sharing the ride, pics, and all the information.
