In July 2018 Michi will be riding his bike starting in Alaska with one goal: going to Patagonia as fast as possible.
Therefore he needs to ride 23.000km.
Austrian Michael Strasser is riding his bike from Alaska to Patagonia as fast as possible. His goal is to cycle 23.000 km with 185.000 meters of altitude in less than 99 days to break an existing world record. The challenge is called Ice 2 Ice (because it's icy at the start and finish). Michael Strasser has two existing world records (he cycled through Russia and Africa).
According to the live tracking, he's 11 days ahead of the record: https://strassermichael.at/en/
- longest drivable route worldwide
- start in Prudhoe Bay / Alaska
- goal in Ushuaia / Patagonia
- distance of 23.000km with 185.000 meters of altitude
In May 2018 Dean Stott (www.pah18.com) improved the record to 99 days 12 hours and 56 minutes
Michael’s highest premise is the complete documentation and credibility of the record attempt.
