Biking Across Eurasia

Biking Across Eurasia

A great project and one of those epic adventures everyone dreams about (for similar stuff try digging up torrents for the travel channel’s series about the couple that walked the length of Africa — amazing stuff). And I do love that a group of “recent graduates” from some prestigious sounding universities in England managed to misspell university in the opening sentence of the homepage of their site. Kids today.

We are five recent grads from the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s Unviersity (sic) looking for adventure and a more intimate acquaintance with the people of the world.

September 16th of this year we biked out of Beijing, and began a trek across what will hopefully be Asia and perhaps Europe.

Along the way we are biking through rural areas and playing music in villages. We feel that the people in these areas have a lot to teach us, and that this bike trip is an excellent opportunity for spreading international good will on the local level. We are also advocating reducing carbon emissions and living slower-paced, more enjoyable lives.
