Team GearJunkie/YogaSlackers has been racing now for a week straight and for hundreds of miles via bike, boat, and trekking shoes in southern Chile, where the Patagonian Expedition Race is held annually near the very tip of South America. Our squad is currently in third place and gunning toward the finish line today. Here are a few images from the action so far. —Stephen Regenold
