Adventure Cycling // Alastair Humphreys // From Round the World to Mountain Bike in Scotland


[Authors notes: An imaginary journey round Scotland, linking together wild bothies and landscapes.
Apart from one day, when I was joined by a friend, I made this trip by myself, filming it all myself.
I used a car to do the grunt work between some of the locations as they are spread all over Scotland.
Please don't ask me for the locations of these bothies! Equipment: Canon 5D Mkii, ION camera, DJI Phantom Quadcopter (carried in a big 90litre backpack as I rode) end authors notes]

Alastair Humphreys is an English adventurer, author and motivational speaker. His first big adventure was completing a four-year bicycle journey around the world.[1] He was a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year in 2012.

WT: Cycling in Morocco - Youssef Boucetta






About 1/2 a year ago, whilst going through the Facebook groups, I met a young cyclist-to-be-Expeditioner named Youssef Boucetta. This guy is really cool, as I can say he will approach anyone and everyone interested in cycling, expeditions, bicycle touring, or those whom have devoted a great deal of their life to two wheels. I've been fortunate to become friends with such a great guy in Morocco, even though I have never been there or any place on that corner of the globe. Well, recently Youssef got handles on a new digital camera, an ace to his advance to sharing his goodwill message from Cycling in Morocco, and I wanted to share his recent work here on Korean-World. Although my site began as a space for my ESL teaching experience, it's now evolved, sharing the Cycling Spirit that forms a strong collective of riders around the world. I hope to experience the full-intensity of a ultra-distance cycling expedition , the time I will set aside to ride ONE, from the Arctic to Argentina in 2012-2013(32,000km, more about that over here). Ok, back to Cycling in Morocco...brought to you by Youssef Boucetta, a new name, one that will become familiar in Cycling groups, when this lad launches into his own World Expedition in the future. Until then, he's got a whole world to discover in Morocco, as I have found in South Korea. Look around you, the adventure is really right there where you left it, pick up yourself, pack your gear, and ride!!! - Brian Perich, writing from a small apartment in Siheung, South Korea.

Chiaksan Mountains, Cycling in Korea's finest fields of joy!

Break of dawn over Mt. Chiaksan, Good morning Green fields of "muu"
Cycled out of Wonju City, Gangwon Province and found a nice place to camp.
Inside the tent, we have the raisins, apples and a TESCO product here! ha!
Life on the road is lighter, faster, further you go.
Looking forward to One - Arctic to Argentina.

WT: Letter to Shuutak, Who is: Cycling 100,000km around the world


Shuutakは、世界の自転車遠征に信じられないほどの仕事をしている。アジアでのニース会議で、私は北極から、アルゼンチンには2012年に乗馬されます。平和、ブライアン
Shuutak, you are doing an incredible job on your bicycle expedition around the world. Nice meeting you in Asia, I will be riding from the Arctic to Argentina in 2012. Peace, Brian

Follow Shuutak (in Japanese) as he rides through 100 countries or 100,000km around the world. I'm hoping to convince him to make his site, multilingual through the use of the Google Translation Widget, then he can share with a broader audience around the world. It has yet to happen, but I keep encouraging him, and following his updates on Korean-World. He is light-weight cyclist riding a Surly Long Haul Trucker, FFF-Fatties Fit Fine model, custom built with many Japanese high-end components (Shimano, Nitto, etc...) met him while we cycled together in South Korea this spring. Almost anyone can ride a bike, but to cycle around the entire planet requires logistics (financial backing), time, energy, dedication, endurance and a will to live comfortably on the road. It isn't for everyone, but for those dedicated souls who love to ride, it pure joy, a comfortable numb, eternal happiness, bliss, blisters, sore muscles, and life to explore!
