Competition time

We thought it might be fun to have a puncture sweepstake.  Let us know how many punctures you think we're likely to get over 6 months.  The winner gets a tacky South American souvenir of our choice, painting of Machu Picchu on a grain of rice, miniature panpipes, alpaca poncho and other 'things that money can't buy' surprises.

Post your bets on our comments page and we'll keep a running tally as we go along.

    Hi guys,
    I reckon you'll have 3 punctures each - 6 in total?!
    Good luck on the trip - what an amazing adventure... looking forward to tracking your progress.

    Hang on... I've just finished Al Humphreys' books and realised how ridiculous my previous guess was because he was having 3 a day by the end! Please can I change my entry to 20 each 40 in total!

    Sounds like the carbo/protein loading in BA went according to plan, and was a lot of fun.

    We reckon 52 punctures in total: 32 for Ben (just plain careless) and 20 for Laura.

    Hope all's going well in Ushaia. Have a great time, and as Jimmy Saville (probably) once said "Cycle safely".

    I was convinced you'd stay in BA and DHL the bikes home!! Best of luck - hope it's going well so far.

    I guess 35 punctures but challenge you to get as many helpful locals (where possible) to repair them for you...making the most of your Spanish (and lycra outfits)!

    Lots of love
