Good luck to him!.

Nice. Thanks for the link. This fits with other adventurers I’m following right now…

This is very cool. Much cooler than the position pics posted on this website

This is the essence of cycling. Exploring nature and using the bike as transport. I’d love to ride from Prudhoe Bay Alaska to Vancouver one of these years !

Adventure of a lifetime. Can’t say I like his chances of breaking the record though. I don’t see this philosophy working: “For me, this is not a 25,000 km race. It is a daily race that consists of a 200km+ distance.” and he’s already totaled one $6000 bike and is behind schedule. But I’m still rooting for him!

His seat is too high.

He is a sail.

And no helmet! He must be crazy, what with all of that traffic out there :wink:

Sounds like an epic adventure.

OK - on a serious note - he’s on GURU’s website, yet in all the pics he’s riding a Specialized??? I bet Guru must love that…

It is not like it is 200 K per day of flat riding with a 50 kph tailwind across the Canadian Praries. This dude is going to essentially be riding the longest chain of Mountains in the world (from Alaska to South America).

bump…this story is very cool and needs to be on the first page :-).

The last update that I’m seeing is Juy 12th, and I can’t find any pictures. Help?

Okay, got the pictures, but still no current updates.

Right side of the page, about half way down.
