Episode 144: Joy Ride: A Bike Odyssey From Alaska To Argentina

Joy Ride: A Bike Odyssey from Alaska to Argentina written by Kristen Jokinen, is a new book available now! On the show today meet WORLD TRAVELERS, Ville and author Kristen, who are currently on a book tour zigzagging across the country promoting the book. They are on to talk about their 2 year, 18,000 mile journey from Alaska to Argentina on bikes! After hiking the entire Pacific Crest Trail they had the itch to do something equally epic, and the plan to bike from Alaska to Argentina was born. At the time, they didn’t even own bikes. With the help of a friend they purchased bikes suitable for touring, tested those bikes with a very short 20 mile test ride, and boxed them up for the flight to Alaska. Their journey was all about biking, making connections and figuring out how little it takes to be genuinely happy. Kristen kept daily blogs and went on to write the book; Joy Ride: A Bike Odyssey from Alaska to Argentina, which is available now in your local bookstore or online.
