Yellowstone Highlights

by bgarth on Sep 30, 2015 • 1 Comment

Well it’s been ages since I bothered to post on the blog… mostly because I haven’t felt like much was “happening” in our lives that was blog worthy. Now, that is in direct contradiction with this post I did when we first came home from the Tour, when I talked...

Summer Fun

by bgarth on Jun 30, 2015 • No Comments

I realized I never gave an update on the triathlon, and so I thought while I was doing that, I would give a general update on life, Kirby and how our summer is going. So, let’s start with my FIRST Olympic distance triathlon! On May 30, Dave and I both...

Whole 30, Triathlon Training and Contentment

by bgarth on May 20, 2015 • 1 Comment

Well, this update is a bit overdue… it’s now been 50 days since I posted on the blog! As much as I would love to post more, I am accepting the reality of the life I live, with being a full-time mom and also working part-time from home. There’s just...

Whole 30 Challenge

by bgarth on Apr 1, 2015 • No Comments

Well, it’s April 1. Day one of my first Whole30 challenge. (And no, this is not an April Fools’ joke.) Some or even most of you may have heard of the Whole30 before… it’s a relatively restrictive diet where, for the next 30 days, I will be eating REAL food....

The Ultimate Pi Day

by bgarth on Mar 21, 2015 • No Comments

Every year, Dave and I celebrate our anniversary with a pie. We got married on Pi Day (March 14 = 3.14 = pi). And this year, the tradition continued with a delicious apple pie: Also, it’s worth noting that 2015 gave us the most accurate Pi Day we will have...

A Brave New World (of Motherhood)

by bgarth on Feb 19, 2015 • No Comments

Perhaps you’re thinking that I haven’t posted on the blog because I’ve been so busy in my new role as a mom. (Perhaps I flatter myself to think anyone has noticed the month or more of silence…) You’d be wrong to think that I’m crazy swamped with our sweet little...

Chiloe National Park (1/13/11)

by bgarth on Jan 16, 2012 • 1 Comment

Because we had some spare time here in Chiloe, we decided to take a day off and ride a bus out to the Chiloe National Park. We enjoyed hiking the shorter trails, one which led us through a Tepual forest (basically thick vegetation!) and one which led us to a spectacular view of the Pacific....

Seeing the Penguins (1/12/12)

by bgarth on Jan 14, 2012 • 1 Comment

The past week has been full of activity as we make our way south in Chile. Our goal? Patagonia… and we hope some of the most beautiful scenery (and free camping) we’ve had yet in our journey. In the meantime, we’re riding south down the island of Chiloe. We were able to take a tour...

Home for the Holidays

by bgarth on Jan 3, 2012 • 1 Comment

What a treat it has been to spend some time with our families for the holiday season! We flew into Atlanta on December 20 and Bethany’s parents picked us up at the airport to take us home to Abbeville. We were blessed to spend 10 wonderful days there, which included hanging out with some of...

Visiting the Canal (12/18/11)

by bgarth on Dec 19, 2011 • No Comments

We have both been looking forward to our opportunity to check out the Panama Canal! We hopped a bus from our hostel here in the City and headed to Miraflores Locks, where visitors can roam the exhibits and watch ships come through the locks. Because it’s a slow season for transport, we only saw one...

Adventures in Panama

by bgarth on Dec 19, 2011 • 1 Comment

Our 8-day ride through Panama was eventful. We decided Panama was a perfect blend of the things we enjoyed in other Central American countries except Costa Rica, but with a few more developments (like drinkable water). Day one crossing the border was absolute chaos! We have not had any problems with any other border crossing,...

Costa Rica… a Love Hate Relationship (12/3/11)

by bgarth on Dec 4, 2011 • 1 Comment

Oh Costa Rica… you are such a paradox for us. We love your drinkable water and not having to filter and buy pure water. We hate your wind… your crazy, strong and relentless wind. We love your friendly people, so many of whom speak English. We hate your buses… the huge ones that look like...

Greetings!

Welcome to our site! We're Dave and Bethany Garth, and in 2013 we finished a 2-year cycling journey, pedaling some 22,900 miles through 41 countries. Sure, we connected some of the dots with planes, trains, buses and boats... but our primary transport was our trusty two-wheelers.

If you're interested in some of the details of our trip, check out the information we've given about our gear, route and more. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us any time at garthsontour@gmail.com. Or just stay connected to our post-tour life and bike touring resources by checking in for our bi-weekly blog posts.

Greetings!
