On the new craze of riding round the world as fast as you possibly can.
“Ah, it was a fine night, a warm night, a wine-drinking night, a moony night, and a night to hug your girl and talk and spit and be heaven going. This we did” – Jack Kerouac
A common question in my talks is “what do you think of Mark Beaumont’s ride?” Last night, to [...]

Pedals and Paddles – the final part
Fortunately the Yukon is an easy place to get hold of things like 16ft canoes.
We loaded our bikes into the canoe and set to paddling with gusto.
For the next 10 days we would be far from road or rescue with no phone to call for help. It felt very liberating.
After the canoeing we climbed back [...]

Excitement rippled among us, all craning for a better view on the starboard side of the boat.

Remembering Anne Mustoe, Round the World Cyclist
Anne Mustoe, a round the world cyclist, has died in Syria. She was 76. This is sad news for all fans of cycling literature, though there is consolation that she passed away whilst away on another grand adventure.
I have always enjoyed having Anne Mustoe in my armoury. She was a fabulous example to give to [...]

Today’s Photo Friday comes from a river trip in Laos. Ben explains that the “photo was taken during our longtail boat trip 25km to the Pak Ou Caves down the Mekong River. The boy is jumping from a tree into the Mekong while our boat was passing by. I took multiple shots to capture his [...]
