About

Hi I’m Chris

I love getting outdoors hiking, kayaking, climbing, mountain biking and generally messing around in nature with like-minded people.

The purpose of this website is to keep a record of my cycling progress across the American continent.

What’s the plan?

I’m riding from Deadhorse, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina. This route is generally known as the Pan-American Highway and it is the longest continuous route that you can travel on dry land.

From July 2022 to July 2023 I rode my bicycle from Deadhorse to Mexico City.

The beginning: Deadhorse, Alaska.
Crossing the Arctic circle on the Dalton Highway, Alaska.
Kenai Peninsula, Alaska.
The stunning Pacific coast of Oregon.
‘Drive-thru’ redwood tree in California.
Hanging out with a giant cactus in Baja, Mexico.
Visiting a cathedral in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico.
The ruins of the city of Teotihuacan near Mexico City.

After hitting the pause button in Mexico city, I took up a teaching job in Quito, Ecuador in August 2023, in order to save up some cash for the next leg and to continue learning Spanish in a Latin American country.

I am now planning to resume riding south from Quito in March 2025. Stay tuned!
