Pre-Departure 1

"I set out alone, finding no companion to cheer the way with friendly intercourse, and no party of travellers with whom to associate myself. Swayed by an overmastering impulse within me, and a long-cherished desire to visit those glorious sanctuaries, I resolved to quit all my friends and tear myself away from my home."

Ibn Battuta

 

The North American Epic

The North American Epic begins in Anchorage when the days are long and the nights do not get truly dark.
Ahead lies a journey by bicycle through some of the best National Parks and wilderness of North America. We will have time to see it and touch it. We will pass through a range of environments and climates as we traverse the globe.

Back on the road soon

Last year 2012, 15 of us, plus a great support team (including one on a "Grand Tour" with effectively 17 chaperones) ventured across Europe.

I did not blog because I was not in that headspace.

On the 4th of July the next ride begins. The intention is to blog as often as WIFI permits. In the great north american outdoors I am not sure how often that will be.

Stay tuned. It could occasionally be wet and cold.
