Sponsors

A trip like ours needs a few basic things: first of all determination, but close second is good gear. It is no use trying to make do, for a good trip, you need good material.

Without the help of the following people and companies the trip would not have been possible. They have not only supplied us with the best gear available, but also have kept us focused on our first goal: to get started! Most if not all of the people are cyclists or sportsmen and -women and they have not just donated their products but also their time and enthusiasm, which is priceless .

• First of all our bicycles. No compromise here, we wanted the best as we will test them to the max. The only suitable solution is Santos Bikes. Our machines are the best and totally custombuilt. Please read more about Santos and its owner Robbert and their custom configuration tool here.
• A great new laptop, almost designed for our wishes was supplied by Lenovo laptops
• Outdoordacht has sponsored all types of gear, with the solarpanel being the ultimate green-travel tool
• There really is only one brand of panniers: Ortlieb. Their importer Jacobsons has worked hard to help us with all gear needed
• Gecko climbing is the importer of Carinthia, together they have supplied us with great sleeping bags and down jackets, to fight the harshweather of Alaska and Canada
• Mario Wolff is the importer of Vertical and has set us up with great and very usable clothing
• WorldNomads has sponsored a year of health insurance, get yours here as well, it really is cheaper and better, we also use it for our Everest expeditions!
• Elephant Drive has sponsored a year of free use of the Elephantdrive solutions, really a weight off our shoulders to know our back-ups are safe.
• AdventureFood has supplied us with great tasty meals to survive the first two weeks in the wild of Alaska
• De VakantieFietser has helped us with advice, gear and a sense of humour to get us started in the right direction

We are still looking for financial support as our trip is very costly, not just our daily cost of living, but also internet access, server hosting etc. any donations are welcome, or if you want us to give special attention to our products (of course only if they are useful for cyclists!) contact us using the form above.
