Friends From The Road

  • www.stormkorp.se – Janne Corax, Sweden. Perhaps Sweden’s most famous touring cyclist and mountaineer. We met in Rodeo and went to climb Cerro Olivares at Paso de Agua Negra.
  • munduanbarrena.blogspot.com – Lorenzo, Basque Country. This guy has been cycling for 13 years with only two 6 month breaks! Unfortunately I could only join him from Chos Malal to an intersection 8 km later.
  • www.ridingthespine.com – Goat, USA. We met at Bike Hostel in San Martin de los Andes, Argentina. He and his friends went from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego in 3.5 years, on the smallest roads/paths they could find. They even kayaked from Panama to Colombia. Goat has a custom longtail bicycle with motorbike-wide tires to be able to deal with sand, snow and mud, and he always rides barefoot. Very interesting guy!
  • www.panamericanpeaks.com – Thomas, Austria. Riding the Panamerican Highway and climbing the highest mountain in each country along the way (in 1 year, and on a recumbent + trailer). Also raising funds for Doctors Without Borders!
