here and a slideshow of that trip can be found

From 2008 - 2011 we cycled from Alaska to Argentina. It was a journey of 17,300 miles through fifteen countries. Our sons now hold the world record as the youngest people to cycle the length of the Americas. We're still working on a book about that journey, but you can find our journal here and a slideshow here.
