Friends’ blogs
- Pascal Sergé – Pascal and I met in the year 2000 at a library in Kingman Arizona. We were both on bike tours and really hit it off. Later, while I was touring Europe, I went to visit him in Marseilles, France and he showed us his plans for a boat voyage. He never let that dream pass. First, he toured South America with his wife and 3 little children. Now he is on a worldwide voyage by sail. I admire his follow-through on a dream crafted over many years!
- Mark Watson and Hana Black – Mark and Hana are bikepackers extraordinaire. We have been following each others’ routes since 2016. We finally got to meet them in Tauranga in May 2023. Mark takes excellent photography and also has published 5 routes on bikepacking.com
- Nick Gault – Nick has ridden his bicycle from Alaska to Northern South America, and is on his way to Tierra del Fuego. Nick is one of the last true adventurers, shunning the shorter, easier routes. Nick has a dedication for completion, and has impressed me with his ability to “go back” and retrace his steps just to ride an “interesting section.”
- Ryan and Camille – A blog written mostly by Camille with a wry sense of humor. Mostly it is stories about their children. Camille could professionally write short magazine clips; her style of story telling is unique and gets me laughing out loud with almost every post.
- Leor Pantilat – Leor’s Blog is veritably the de facto guide to the Sierra and the Ventana. In fact, if you’re searching for a route in either of these places, you may wish to check his blog before mine. Many of my routes have already been covered by Leor. He provides descriptive route information, plenty of pictures, and video.
- Tom Lucey – A blog that catalogs Tom’s trip from California to the Tip of South America by bicycle – with surfboards in tow.
- Chris and Tracey – This is a travel blog; Tracey updates it whenever they take a trip that lasts longer than a week.
- Menso de Jong – At this point, a fledgling adventure blog, hopefully to be developed in more detail.
- Dave and Sue – This is their travel blog.
- Ryan Sherlock – A variety of topics; Bike Racing and food.
- Dave and Becky – Lately, mostly about their journeys through European waterways on their boat “Wanderlust”
- Wojciech Ganczarek – Travelling from Mexico to Tierra del Fuego
Hi Brian, I tried the ‘Contact Me’ form but I don’t get an ‘I am not a robot box to check’, so it doesn’t send.
Anyway, I am doing some university research and I was hoping you would take the time to answer a few questions.
Best regards, Bruce
Thanks Brian. I can download the GPX routes from Colombia and Ecuador. But I cannot find the link for donloading maps from Panama till Southern Mexico.
End of this year we will bike from Quito to Mexico city. We also have a site but it’s in Dutch language. Jetengeertopdefiets,nl

Hello,
Your site is very interesting for us, because we also wil go to Latin America with the bike end this year.
I’m also very interested in the GPS routes. I see them on strava, but I can’t download them. Do you have the GPS tracks somewhere else?
Best regards, Jet
Hi – On all pages that have a map at the bottom, you can click on any individual track. From there, you have two options: 1) View on Strava… or 2) Export GPX. Just select the Export GPX option. Some of the older pages don’t have this option yet; let me know which page you’re looking at and I can update it with the newer maps.
