Completed Tours

Jeff Kruys

Jeff has just com­pleted a 4-year cycling trip through The Amer­i­cas, fin­ish­ing in Dec ’10.

Chris­t­ian Bomio

The first blog I read — Com­pleted a 2-year tour through The Amer­i­cas, fin­ish­ing in Dec ’09.

Nancy Lewis & Randy Fay

The Warmshow­ers’ admin­is­tra­tors trip from Alaska to Chile, 2006–2009. One of the most detailed sites around for those look­ing for infor­ma­tion as it goes so much fur­ther than just a tripblog.

Mike & John Logsdon

Two broth­ers who cycled from Dead­horse, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina between 2006 & 2008 to raise money for the Amer­i­can National Brain Tumor Soci­ety. They pre­miered a 2-hour film of the trip in San Jose, Cal­i­for­nia, in Sep­tem­ber 2010. This site appealed to me because of the invalu­able ‘Tips from the Road’ sec­tion, which so few sites offer.

Marisa Ernst & Gary Lewis

They log their trip through Cen­tral Amer­ica from Can­cun, Mex­ico to Panama City. Very well writ­ten in both Eng­lish & Ger­man, & of par­tic­u­lar inter­est for those who are think­ing about mean­der­ing from coast to coast through the region.

Still On The Road

Alan Turn­quist & Erin Syth

The peo­ple I met most fre­quently on the route & trav­elled with through Baja, Mex­ico. On their way to Ushuaia, Argentina, hav­ing started in Inu­vik, Canada.

Fam­ily On Bikes

Hus­band, John; wife, Nancy & 12-year old twins Daryl & Davy double-tandem their way from north­ern Alaska to south­ern Argentina. One of the most var­ied web­sites around. Used it for infor­ma­tion on Baja Cal­i­for­nia. They are cur­rently in Argentina.
