Bicycle Touring Around the World: Going Slowly

Sep 3rd, 2010
- Stranded in a Mongolian border check @ 2400m, in a Blizzard. Holed up in a car with a bunch of Mongol Ralliers for the night! @ 08:18 PM
- Hands down, after five hundred and thirty days of travel, the Altay Mountains in Russia are the most beautiful thing we've ever seen. @ 07:00 PM

- Spectacular scenery here in the Altay mountains. Russia keeps on giving! @ 09:38 PM

- RE: Russia to Vietnam: Ideally it would be by sea (to avoid disassembling and boxing our bikes again). Probably a pipe dream though. @ 03:00 AM
- If anyone has any ideas on how to get from Russia to Vietnam without flying, with two fully loaded touring bicycles, we'd love to hear them. @ 08:49 PM

- Very productive break in Novosibirsk. Back on the road, driving to the Altay mountains. @ 07:00 PM

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:
