2010

We are Tyler Kellen & Tara Alan; this website chronicles our first ever cycle tour. We started in Glasgow, Scotland on April 1st, 2009 and hope to reach our final destination of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia by 2011. We have no sponsors, our tour is entirely self supported. We aren't doing this for any causes, and we aren't even obsessed with bicycles, we are just two people who want to see the world!

Apart from satisfying a desire to document our expedition, we hope that our website will help anyone dreaming about going on a trip like this understand more clearly what it takes to pack up and leave the comforts of home behind for the excitement and adventure of the open road.

To our mutual amazement we've had many people request the ability to contribute to our journey! If you feel so inclined, you may click the button below to do so:
