You might think trying to finish your masters thesis three weeks before it's due sucks... you're right, it does. But what also sucks is trying to fit 80 pairs of spandex into two small panniers.
The likes of Ramsey Ben-Achour and Chad Hamre have teamed up for a mighty journey.
Starting off on August 17th with our rear tires rested against the buttresses of London's Westminster Abbey, and rolling up 42 days, 13 countries and 4,000kms later to the minarets of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul Turkey.

We'll try and write weekly updates and let you know how the trip is going. Here is our route:

Wow! I hope your bike is not one of those Goodenough abandoned bikes you bought for £15!
Enjoy your trip and keep us updated!
It seems you're enjoying life. I hope to see you soon. Give me a call! I'm taking care of your tree.
Bye for now babe,
Eve on a Thursday night at the EWB office
I'm so proud of you guys!!!! ENJOY!!
don't carry your marijuana clippings across the borders (you've seen 'midnight cowboy' as you cross into turkey haven't you?) - good luck and safe riding
Looks like an amazing time. With the luck of Ramsey and his "forest" discoveries you guys are in for a good time. Enjoy the riding,
Hey Chad and Ramsay
Thanks for your update, wow what an adventure!!! We are still in Penticton and I picked up your phone message to Saskatoon. Thanks for phoning, nice to know you are safe and sound. Take Care on the road. We are watching the Iron Man as we speak. The athletes bike and run right behind Dean's house. Lou is in town volunteering at the transition.
Mom,Dad and Dean
Hy Chad and Ramsay !!!
I'm the nice Turkish girl you've seen today in a super market in France, in a little city called Cognin. First, I want to congratulate you for the course (or race ???) you are making. I'm particulary pleased because the arrival city is Istanbul !!! You will see, it's a very beautiful city, rich with its history and its beautiful monuments. I hope to have you news very soon. Take care. By !!! Sezen
