Produktbeschreibung
Follow this father and daughter team of Mike and Jocelyn as they return to their bicycles for an awe-inspiring world adventure after their journey across the U.S. and New Zealand as written in their first adventure book published in 2013. In pursuit of this, they begin their most challenging ride yet from Marrakesh, Morocco to Bangkok, Thailand. North Africa, Europe, Central Asia, China, and Southeast Asia are traversed as they continue to explore this amazing world along with its diversity of people and cultures. After this enlightening ride, they continue from Washington State at the Canadian border and work their way south down the West Coast of the U.S., Mexico, Central America, and South America. Upon reaching Puerto Montt, Chile, they concede that the Southern Chile winter weather will prevent their progress further south. Next on their list is heading east across Canada to Nova Scotia, then south along the East Coast of the U.S., and then home to Cape Canaveral, Florida. They arrive home in December of 2016 from a world trip consisting of 37 countries, five continents, and over 28,000 miles. Mike and Jocelyn envisioned this travel by bicycle not so much as a cycling exercise but rather as a means to get to out-of-the-way places, to dig deeply into a country's cultures, and to meet locals in a way that normal tourists rarely do.
Autorenporträt
Michael Rice Mike retired in 2011 as an electrical engineer with the Space Shuttle Program. In his retirement, Mike and his daughter Jocelyn spent thirty-three months riding their bicycles seeking adventure around the world. Mike also spent three winters in Antarctica working as a satellite communication engineer at McMurdo Station and Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, and now he awaits his wife Andrea's retirement. Jocelyn Rice Jocelyn has celebrated several birthdays while cycling and continues to treat every day like an adventure. She is currently working close to home as a Security Officer at the Port of Cape Canaveral and as a pedicab driver. Perhaps most importantly, Jocelyn is reconnecting with friends near and far. Her future aspirations are changing daily, but one thing is for sure, she is letting life take her on one wildly adventurous ride!
