One Family's Bicycle Journey To Alaska

We are pedaling on our Quint bicycle from Mount Vernon, Kentucky, to Fairbanks, Alaska.

This 7,000 mile journey takes us via the southern states to Vancouver Island. From here we will take the Marine Highway to the Alaskan mainland where the final leg of the journey to Fairbanks begins.

We departed from Mount Vernon, KY, on Saturday August 1, 2009. We estimate our arrival in Fairbanks, AK, to be in the summer of 2010.

We will live in Fairbanks for the year, experiencing the never setting sun and the never ending night. We will discover the way the Alaskans live. Enriching our lives with the exposure to new customs and traditions.

In the spring of 2011 we will decide whether we will pedal across Canada back to the east coast of the United States.
