Across North America by bicycle, a long dream comes true

Katrin & Frank are crossing Canada and the USA by bicycle. We started in St. John´s (Canada) the most eastern town on the North American Continent and are biking to Los Angeles in the USA. We started August 10th and hope to be in LA in December 2011. The journey is a longtime dream of Frank and we think the best way to see a country. Katrin is riding a Specialized bicycle with electro support, Bionix, made in Canada. Frank rides a Cannondale bike, made in the US.

Wichita Falls to Quanah (136 km)

Our lunchstop place

The whole day just biking along the highway 287. The day started so warm, that we took of in our T-shirts. Nothing much to tell, just the incredible Texas plains, getting dryer and dryer, the trees faded away and what is left is acrage and oil-wells. But very fascinating to cross this barren land, drive over dryed out rivers and stop at the gas stations to get something to drink. It is so dry here, we need more that 4-5 liters a day, so we are constantly careful to have something to drink on us.
