This expedition follows Trent Wiebe (Canada) and Rob Simons (Netherlands) as they attempt to cycle across the America’s.
The trip is personally funded and will entail us riding self sufficiently throughout Canada, USA , Mexico, Central America and South America. The departure date will be May 18/01 from the city of Dawson Creek, B.C. Canada with the hopes of finishing at the southern tip of South America. Our progress can be followed on the Route Map.
We will be riding modified mountain bikes, pursuing our love to travel combined with the added mental and physical test of this endevour. Our hopes are to "tread lightly" through numerous country backroads as well as fast paced city chaos all to discover the unknown adventure which may lie ahead. We can only expect to touch these places and people briefly in hopes of better understanding some of the other cultures beyond our own.
All those family and friends "living through us" or those just interested in what two semi retired travel enthusiasts are up to can click on Journal Entries for more updated info. Our hopes are you find it most entertaining as we find everyday an adventure and if we didn't enjoy it we would be watching such stories develop through the tube as many do. Get out and live it!!
Material items lose value over time, But memories last a lifetime…
