Across Western Canada and Alaska, you have to be ready for anything! Self contained for 2,700 miles (4,300 km) we ride along with fourteen average, yet exceptional people from around the world on a definite “bucket list” journey traveling gravel roads through bear country. The route begins in Missoula, MT up through Banff and Jasper parks then northwest through British Columbia and the Yukon Territory before ending in Denali National Park, Alaska. Sometimes hundreds of miles from a grocery store and a thousand miles from a bike shop, we just keep going!
Kelly waited for Tom at the top of the hill - he wondered if maybe she might sort of like him.
This is the story of the trip where they met cycling from Missoula to Jasper with Adventure Cycling Association's Great Parks North. Traveling without support of motor vehicles, they carry only what they can on the bikes for camping and cooking in the woods. The route transverses Glacier National Park in the US and Kootenay, Banff, and Jasper National Parks in Canada.
The film has been accepted to the Ciclismo Classico Bike Travel Film Festival for 2019.
Crossing the whole southern US from California to Florida on bicycles, this small group of hearty travelers enjoys the pleasure and challenges of the long wild road. They travel self contained carrying everything on their bikes with no motor vehicle support for the 3,200 mile (5,150 km) two month journey. Enjoy the trip highlights with music and energy!
A little spoof on my former company's retirement program. Founded and staffed by my good friends, it is a very strong organization that regularly makes the lists of the top 50 places to work. Here's a small chuckle for the A-Team! |
