Francis and Terry’s Excursion to Peru – reuniting with Stefan, Silke & “Fender”
Recently a happy reunion took place when Francis, owner of PDX Rovers and Bend Rovers, and his son Terry traveled to Peru to attend a wedding and during the very same period got reunited with the Canada-to-South-America-driving Germans Stefan and Silke. The reunion took place approximately one year after us having waved good-bye to Stefan and Silke when they left Portland after three amazing weeks. They had stayed at our house while we did maintenance work on their Defender 110 Td5 (learn more about their amazing driving expedition by clicking the 4x4 Adventures tab on our web page).
After a lot of festivities in the capital Lima, Stefan, Silke, Francis and Terry piled into “Fender”, the Defender 110 Td5, and first drove south-bound to Nazca (famous for the Nazca lines) and then east-bound to Cuzco – crossing the Andes mountains and driving for hours – mostly above 14,000 feet with the highest driving point being 15,041 feet (4580 meters), The Sacred Valley of the Incas and the amazing Machu Picchu.

The Land Rover-ORBEA cycling team just released this video which we would like to share as the story behind Norrene and David establishing this racing team is so very inspiring. We applaud their determination and hard work to raise money and develop young cycling talents. Also, the cause it very dear to our hearts as Francis' wife Elsa lost her mother to breast cancer in June 2009:

Hi everyone,
You and your Land Rover are wanted this Friday early evening 8/7/09 in Downtown Portland @ the Portland Twilight Criterium bicycle race in the North Park blocks!
PDX Rovers has been asked by the Land Rover-Orbea cycle team Manger to source Land Rovers and their owners to show up at the Land Rover-Orbea “base camp”. You’ll get to be right inside the race and hear the sweet sound of blistering fast bicycle tires plus there’ll be music, food and beverages.
They have room for approx. 15 - 20 Land Rovers (their base camp is right on Park Ave … between Everett & Flanders) and it’s first come first serve! If the max is slightly exceeded they might have an adjacent parking lot available on Glisan.
We happen to know first-hand that being inside the race is rather fun as we recently cheered this team on when they did the Cascade Cycling Classic in Bend.
Please sign up by emailing elsa@pdxrovers.com
Learn more about the event from the attached pdf – and from this link: http://www.portlandtwilight.com/
Again, please RSVP to elsa@pdxrovers.com so we can keep an accurate head count and accommodate as many of you as possible!
“Go Team Land Rover-Orbea”,
Francis & Elsa
