First Snow of December, Expedition Cyclists, Adventurers, Navigation

Love the sight of the first snow. In South Korea, it’s the sign of fresh weather, clearer conditions for riding in lower elevations, and far less smog. Winter is the ideal cyclists condition for healthier commuting to work, cycling for fitness training, or just getting around the country. Many have already crossed the country, or are setting off on winter vacation for Jeju-do (Island) in the south of the peninsula, where the milder temperatures and snow covered peaks of Mount Halla (Hallasan) are ever present in the background. Cycle touring is evolving into World Expeditions, and that can be done fast or slow. Take several examples from powerful elites in the Slow Bicycle Movement that have successfully cycled around the world, two recent examples that best exemplify WT (World Touring) are Alastair Humphreys (UK) and now Nicholai Bangsgaard (Denmark) whom have both completed 4-year crossings of entire Earth landmasses on two-wheels. Others that are notable for their dedication to the lifestyle and longevity of WT are Tim & Cindie Travis (USA) making bicycle touring their home since 2002. Additionally, Peter Gostelow is currently on his charity-based Big Africa Cycle and heading into the Sahara shortly. I had the opportunity to speak to Peter from Youssef Boucetta’s house in Demante, Morocco yesterday via Skype. One of the best charity campaigns on 2 in 2009 was definitely Dan Harrison riding his flagship bicycle expedition from London to Capetown delivering (currently) 24,450 GBP (Pounds!!!) to orphanages all along his route. Dan’s Better Life Cycle can be summed up in a huge success already, and his mission statement is already in motion: The Better Life Cycle has one goal; to give some of the worlds most disadvantaged children a better life. “Dan Harrison sets off from London on August 22nd on an epic solo cycle through Europe, the Middle East and Africa; arriving in Cape Town autumn 2010…” Finally, there’s another Adventurer who ready seen the road, cycling from London to Capetown and from Korea to Capetown on his already epic Korea to Capetown: through the Axis of Evil charity campaign, Dan Martin will set out to complete the world’s first World Triathlon. That’s right, he is planning and now seriously training to be the first to swim 1/3, cycle 1/3, and run 1/3 of the way around the world. Watch out for Dan’s grand slam to hit the endurance circuits, or completely blow them out. Beyond the Ironman/RAAM competitions, there is the slow, driven, and hard to the core Martin who will likely accomplish what others believe impossible. I believe he can do it! There's also Helen Lloyd with Take On Africa who now on her first massive charity expedition!!! More on the tabs, The Hungry Cyclist, Bicycle Touring Pro and Shuutak's 100,000km cycling expedition (in Japanese, feel free to support him by leaving a message!)

And finally don't forget to visit Kevin Shannon's Zero Emission World Expedition 2010, when he sets Because It Is There, inspired by George Leigh Mallory's expeditions of Mount Everest, whom is quoted for inspiring the adventure quests simply, "Because it it there!" Finally, more honorable notations on Antony Jinman's incredible efforts with Education through Expedition and his Eco-Movements to explore and educate on global warming through Arctic exploration and bringing it back to the classrooms, and into the labs with ice-coring work he will be doing on a bid to reach the North Pole with a collaboration with the University of Plymouth. He has recently received a letter from United Nations supporting his innovative work in education and has been selling a load of figgy pudding to support the innovation!

What’s really amazing about cycling and expeditions, are the ways people can use this transportation as a transformation into charity works and missions on expedition. This aspect of bicycle touring has become the center interest in my preparation to cycle from the Arctic 2 Argentina in 2012-2013. With every great dream there comes a great pursuit of realizing it. The work begins today, laying the foundations for tomorrow!

Extra notes: Navigation & GPS

I’ve also been looking at navigation, another example is looking at Seoul through the new program Playstreet that I found on the excellent Korean information site for Navigation called Foundatron. These sites can be incredibly useful for those living and Cycling in South Korea. This a full entry about Expedition Cyclists (links to many of their own stories) and a short piece on Navigation for Cyclists in Korea.

Choosing a touring bicycle for expeditions or multi-day adventures

Riding through torrential rains without the gear, good motivation to get home!

Todd Redding get on the bike to Daebudo Island, Bike: Specialized Stumpjumper

My revolutions for future charity work, start here & won't be stopped till the work is complete!

Choosing which touring bicycle will be right for you will be a decision that takes in account your regional location, riding styles, distances/duration of the expedition or lighter tour, road conditions, and based on the quality and/or design of the build, which bike is the most reliable in contexts where replacements parts or even post offices are virtually non-existent. Other factors to consider are the terrain you will be variably traveling on: will you be touring exclusively on rocky trails, in 24 hour mountain bike racing or elite touring events such as the multi-day, 2745mi/4418km race known as The Tour Divide?

Other cyclist prefer the Slow Bicycle Movement, taking in all the sights, sounds, and spectacular scenery enroute, without concern for getting somewhere in a hurray.

If you want more information about the entire touring equipment that will support your dream journey, consider some advice from Tim & Cindi Travis, who have been continuously touring since 2002. They offer some reliable and proven information on touring equipment they tested personally, and links to purchase the equipment is listed directly on their website (as a means to generate commissions from their sponsors. What is unique about this traveling couple, is the fact that they only endorse the companies that offer the most reliable cycling kit available to them, tested and tried, many other companies products are not recommended by them.

Generally, another main group of touring cyclist aim for target distances and ride 100km days on a 1-4 years on their individually designed Cycling World Tours. Take a look at the current adventures of Nicholi Bangsgaard or another World Cycle Traveller, turned motivational speaker and adventurer Alastair Humphreys for their takes on Adventure Cycling. Another new adventure rider is coming out of English next spring set to complete a Global "Zero-Emissions" Cycling Adventure, so I am pleased to share Kevin Shannon's Expedition...Because it is there, Zero Emissions Odyssey 2011.

WT: Letter to Kevin Shannon, Adventure Cyclist for Combat Stress

Kevin Shannon, Adventure Cyclist, Charity Activist with his bicycle [visit Kevin's Expedition Site: here!]

Hey Kev,

I did a follow-up interview with The Korea Times (National English News) for September 2009.

I'm about 7kg lighter now. I've started my Masters & have been studying long and still teaching ESL, so getting the hard bits of cycling in there too, I dropped a lot of weight.

What fuel is recommended for cyclists fueling up [days before the ride]: pasta mixed with raisins, peaches, apples, tuna, tomatoes, etc...[while riding]: throw anything in there that's fresh -amazing raisins, green/red juicy apples, fruits-go nuts on fruit energy, great energy for hard days on the saddle. I experimented with fruit, after meeting my vegetarian friend/cyclist Murray DP in South Korea. Murray is joy to cycle with, a lean/mean machine on the bike, and fueled on vegetarian foods [no meats in this man, except on his bones!].

What did I learn from Murray the Healthy Cycling Guy? I then realized all the bulky fuel snacks (cookies, bars, etc..) was a bunch of garbage holding my legs down like bricks, and not making cycling a pure joy as it should be. So, I switched to fresh fruit & I'm happy to say that this is definitely the fast-track for healthy power-cycling for hours on the saddle.

I'll be bundling up to train through the winter. But shedding the weight by eating right! That's my update from here!

Kevin Shannon is going on a "Zero Emissions Cycling World Odyssey" in support of his chosen charity, Combat Stress, helping traumatized war veterans regain a healthy life after their military duty has ended. You can follow Kevin Shannon's Cycling World Tour by Bicycle here. All the best/safe keeping to Kevin on his quest to bicycle Around the World for Charity.
