Mike Beauchamp's - The Cross Canada Project (1995)

Mike Beauchamp of Windsor completed a cross-Canada bicycle tour in 1995. What is unique about this experience is the no-nonsense approach to creating a unique documentary perspective of his experience in the The Cross Canada Project. From the beginnings of creating his own D.I.Y. recording system and other modifications at his home in Windsor, Mike takes us on a journey across 8,000km of Canada's landmass and delivers his audiences a compelling perspective about bicycle journies and the reasons for doing them. Mike has DVD editions for sale on his self-entitled website, order one as a gift for a friend -it's a great film!
Here's a look at the film, and I think the DVD is better quality. Mike also explains the technical aspects of creating the "bullet camera" which makes this documentary truly unique. Great job Mike, it's awesome!

      I tried to contact the equipment by email, but they do not respond to me and for me is impossible to go to see your race. I wonder if you could help me. I guess to you will be easier to talk with the cycling teams or cyclist and can get these bidons. Then I would send a letter with the money for shipping cost.
      The bidons of the teams that I´m looking for and run in the Tour de Korea 2011 are:

      1.- TEAM TYPE 1 SANOFI AVENTIS

      9.- TERENGGANU CYCLING TEAM
      10.- MAX SUCCESS SPORTS

    • Hey Arantza,

      I wish I could help you. I am an unsponsored cyclist in Korea. I use a facebook group to promote Cycling in Korea (group name, you can join and post your message there asking for help from others or try the group -Han River Riders ...the second group I am no longer member of but there is a guy named Tim Travis that could help you, he is well connected to the cycling industry people in Korea).

      I write about my experiences with cycling through my blog http://korean-world.blogspot.com/ and I plan to cycle from the Arctic (Canada) to Argentina (South America) in 2012. (:

      Peace and thanks for sending your message,

Alastair Humphrey's Trans Iceland Expedition 2010

   

If you know modern explorers in the world of adventure travel, one name is synonymous with the wild: Alastair Humphreys of the U.K. Following his recent adventures isn't an easy task -because he isn't a monolithic icon, he is a living adventure traveller, writer, motivational speaker and explorer. Always preparing for the next epic expedition adding to a repertoire of other life-long accomplishments. An inspiration to me, which is why I now write this post (Thanks for the updates Al)

What's in a name? -Alastair. The meaning according to a quick reference: Defender of men. I would definitely say, while following Alastair's adventures around-the-world by bike or later adventure sequels and charity work for Hope and Homes for Children in the UK, he is a man of will and a "Defender of Dreams" and his memoires are available in his books (see links). His adventures are chronicled regularly on his self-named website linked to an amazing collection of recent photography. His recent Iceland crossing expedition by packraft is an incredible accomplishment. Take a moment and enjoy these Vimeo trailers.


An Expedition Across Iceland from Alastair Humphreys on Vimeo.

It isn't difficult understanding why someone is constantly seeking out the adventures in this enormously diverse world. But it takes only a little while to put the "how" into the "why" and come to a simple computation for hybridize two words (and sometimes worlds): (why -hy +ow = the reason). If you figure out this encryption, you are on your way to discovering your next adventure. Will it be that easy to find the adventure, it could be? Start looking out your front door and leave with your equipment (trainers, cycling shoes, snow shoes, boots, sandals) and start moving in a new direction, that's where your next adventure is waiting for you.
