This travelogue describes a cycling journey from Calgary, Alberta to Panama and back to Calgary, about 13000 kms. The trip,took 8 months and last but not least was taken by a more than middle aged man, completely unsupported and using only used equipment. Hopefully it may catapult someone to do something unorthodox,experience the odd adventure and discover how other people live.

Biography
Travelling has always been a hobby I've taken very serious,either through business or leisure. After a career in Heavy Equipment sales I had the misfortune to have a serious accident which put a stop to that. Now I just work and go on extensive cycling trips or quests whichever you prefer.This travelogue was written on the advise of many people who suggested just to apply my "derrière" to a chair and get started. To be honest I have no intention to make it my new profession. It is just too difficult.
