Family Bike Tour – 5 People, 1 Bike – Reaches The Pacific

pedouinsLast summer, the Pedouin family – that’s parents Bill & Amarins and daughters Cheyenne, Jasmine and Robin – hoped on their bright yellow five-seater bicycle and set off from Kentucky, bound for Alaska.

Now, after nearly 7 months of determined pedalling, they’ve reached the Pacific Ocean and are turning north. There are still many miles ahead, but I loved the description on their blog of the moment when they reached the ocean:

“Words cannot express how we feel inside when we finally see the ocean. Lack of comprehension on our side results in lack of expression. We ride the final yards full of high spirits and pride.”

Their story, which I discovered on Biking Bis, is an inspiring one, for anyone who’s thinking of travelling with kids.

Of course, the trip hasn’t always been easy. They’ve had 19 flat tires so far in some 6,000km of pedalling and sometimes the terrain has been challenging as they try to propell over 600 pounds of bike, gear and riders up hills. In one journal entry, near the beginning of their trip, they write:

“Another curve, another hope that we are to the top. Crushed again, we still need to go up and up and up. We hit a wall today. Our muscles have left us, we don’t want these mountains anymore. We give up pedalling for a while and resort to pushing it around the next curve.”

The difficult moments soon fade, however, and I’m sure this family will reach their goal of arriving in Alaska this summer. Once they do, the plan is to stay for a year to experience life up north.

“We will discover the way the Alaskans live. Enriching our lives with the exposure to new customs and traditions.”

I’ll be watching to see how they go on their way up north and you can follow along too on the Pedouin Blog.

    Saw them on the news yesterday. Great stuff – they have a lot more gumption than I do taking a whole family around. I have enough trouble taking care of myself on a long tour!

    Thanks for your publiction. Another point is that to be a photographer requires not only problem in catching award-winning photographs but additionally hardships in getting the best camera suited to your needs and most especially hardships in maintaining the quality of your camera. This really is very genuine and noticeable for those photography fans that are directly into capturing this nature’s engaging scenes – the mountains, the forests, the wild and the seas. Visiting these amazing places definitely requires a dslr camera that can surpass the wild’s tough settings.

One other thing I would really like to say is the fact newer computer system operating systems are inclined to allow extra memory to be played with, but they also demand more ram simply to work. If an individual’s computer is not able to handle much more memory as well as the newest computer software requires that memory increase, it usually is the time to shop for a new Laptop or computer.

Your authoring is certainly really convincing which is most likely why I am making the effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, whilst I can certainly see a jumps in reason you come up with, I am not necessarily convinced of how you appear to unite your details that help to make the actual conclusion. For now I will subscribe to your position however wish in the future you connect your facts better.
