Two years cycling and teaching through the Americas and Africa!! Woohoo!

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Two weeks ago I set off on a two year cycling trip through North/South America and Africa. I'm going to spend a year riding from New Jersey, America to Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'm going to make my way to South Africa and spend a year riding from Cape Town up to Cairo. I'm an English teacher and every three to four months I'm going to stop to volunteer to teach English for one month at a local school. When I stop to volunteer, I'm going to be working on projects with four schools back in America. The projects are designed to help link my students on the road with students back in the states.

I have a website that explains the trip in more detail with blog posts, a route map, gear list, and some other pages. Check it out if you're interested:
