General Discussion / 10 Years of Continuous Bike Touring, Thoughts, Reflections and Thinking About Ho

« on: April 03, 2012, 08:41:40 am »

Hello fellow bike travelers:

I posted this on another forum but would like to also reconnect with old friends here.

On March 30, 2012 I marked my 10th consecutive year of bicycle touring the world. A whole decade has passed since I started and I find it a bit hard to believe. It's far longer than I originally expected when I left Arizona in 2002. This is a long time for anyone to dedicate their life to any single thing. I have been on tour longer than most people stay at a job, earn a college degree, or stay married. On my anniversary I am going to do the things I still love most; ride, visit new places, and camp - this time in the mountains of Northern India.

I found this letter (see link below) very emotional to write. Continuously drifting around the world this long was hard for me to confront and writing about it made me take a long look in the mirror. I hope you enjoy this letter.

Routes / Anchorage, Alaska to Seattle, Washington

« on: October 21, 2007, 04:07:51 pm »

 Hello we are researching riding from Anchorage, Alaska to Seattle, Washington (May/June 2008) and want to know what route options are available, what "don't miss" tractions are there, how many kilometers it is, and how long it takes to do it at a slowish pace?

Thanks
