Our bikes

The bikes we will us on our adventure are bikes from Giant. Jan Dirk rides the "Giant Yukon" and Fred rides the "Giant ATX 860". Both are very sturdy bikes which are very well to ride on the bad back roads we take and with the heavy luggage we have with us.

More information about these bikes can also be found on our website Cycling Holidays under the "about us" item.

Race accross America

I just saw the documentary of the "Race Across America" on the BBC. WOW! What an incredible race this is; 3000+ miles within 1 or 2 weeks! What achievement to finish this race!

For comparison:
We expect to do about 9000 km in three months for the North America Adventure.
