The first question that most people ask is - why? Well, we usually answer the question in a number of ways. "It's the furthest that you can get from Canada by bicycle", or "We're tired of the cold winter and want something warmer". While these are maybe partly true, the main reason for our trip really is twofold.
First of all, we believe that this truly is the trip of a lifetime. To be able to see the length of North and South America from the seat of a bicycle is not only an amazing feat, but an amazing opportunity as well.
Secondly, we want to be able to highlight the vast differences in wealth in our world, and raise money for an excellent cause dedicated to helping those in tthe world less fortunate than us.
