Duo Cycling Through Every State

Eagle Scout Brent McCauley and his friend Michael Hunter have begun an epic bike journey during which they plan on hitting the highest point in every single state using only bikes and their own mental and physical strength.

The duo is trying to raise awareness of the advantages of traveling using only human power. They will carry everything they need on their bikes; they won’t even have a support vehicle going with them.

Some of the highest points are accessible only by foot, so they’ll ditch their bikes on those treks, but otherwise it’ll be all pedal power, all the time.

The troop began their journey on Sept. 11. You can follow along with them at their blog here and at their homepage here.
