PATAGONIA'S AYSEN RALLY
PICTURES BY BARNEY & GARY PERKIN
It’s hot today. Really hot. And I’m riding through some of the most astonishing scenery I’ve ever seen. But right now, I’m totally oblivious to it. All I can see is the blurred outline of the rear wheel I’m chasing, and slowly, even that is gone. The dust kicked off the wheel in front seems to spiral outwards, packets of talcum powder exploding from it like little cluster bombs, firing curtains of glowing oblivion in the air.
