Adventure Ride
« on: March 12, 2009, 11:49:33 AM »
The link below will bring you to Adventure Rider website and the story of a young guy taking off 3 months and riding through Mexico by himself. He just started his trip on Feb 10, 2009 so this is an active thread. What a great story, great photos but it is very long 50+ pages and growing.

 Man, I only intended on taking a peek, and ended up reading all 52 pages. Really good stuff, IMHO. Think I'll send him the change rattling around in my paypal and make it from the SOHC4 forums.

Thanks for posting this :)
Give me..a frame to build a bike on, and my imagination will build upon that frame

I've only read up to page 36 so far but I find it absolutely fascinating. 
I came across it and just couldn't stop reading. There are some great videos of him riding a BMX bike too somewere in the same thread too, really talented guy. Some of his documentary is not for those with a weak stomach, the poverty is startelling but it also shows that money doesn't make a good person, just my take on it.
