Here are answers (or attempts) to answer some of the questions you ask us:

Who are you anyway? What were you doing before?

Randy and Nancy are 52 or 53, depending on who you ask and when... Our former life was in suburban Denver, Colorado, USA. Randy had a little business as a computer consultant, and Nancy was doing graphic arts for CH2M Hill. We have 3 kids between us, aged 21, 24, and 26. We´ve been getting ready and practicing for this trip for years, and now we´re actually doing it!

What in the world are you doing? And why?

We´re riding our bikes 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) from the top of North America (Inuvik, in western Canada) to the bottom of South America (Ushuaia, in Tierra del Fuego in Argentina). We think it will take about 2.5 years total - maybe we´ll get there in February or March of 2009. So what are you doing?

How many miles do you travel each day?

We usually aim at 30-50 miles (50-80 kilometers) per day. In most of Central America it has been on the low side. It's terribly important to remember that bike touring isn't about getting somewhere, it's about enjoying where you are and meeting the people you see and seeing the things you see. You can see the actual average on the front page.

Why do you call yourselves "hobobikers"?

When we were doing our first long tour we were up in the Canadian Rockies and had some rough weather.  read more here... lee mas aquí... »
