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...

Utah: Sleepless Nights and Rugged Landscapes

by bgarth on Aug 9, 2013 • No Comments

We have survived Utah. Well, almost. We’re taking some rest time in Monticello, a mere 17 miles from the Colorado state line. Perhaps it’s ignorance, but we had no idea how much natural beauty Utah has to offer. Especially the southern half, which, lucky for us, is right where our route took us. Sleepless Nights...

Recipes from the Road

by bgarth on Jul 29, 2013 • 1 Comment

We believe in eating well. We also believe in eating on a budget. We’ve tried our best to combine these two philosophies on our world bicycle tour. People ask us all the time what we eat while on the road, and to be honest, it’s a hard question to answer because it can vary a...

Nevada: Land of the Desolate, Home of the Aliens

by bgarth on Jul 18, 2013 • 2 Comments

Since we’ve been back in the U.S., we’ve been impressed by how downright friendly Americans can be. We have more random people strike up conversations with us here than in any other place in the world. (It doesn’t hurt I suppose that we understand what all of them are saying.) A range of typical questions...

Through Yosemite

by bgarth on Jul 10, 2013 • No Comments

Not to be cliché. but the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” is really the most appropriate thing I can think of to sum up our time in Yosemite! So here are some photos, and the captions (longer than normal) should tell the story of our journey through one of the most spectacular national...

West Coast Adventures

by bgarth on Jun 30, 2013 • 3 Comments

We set out from Portland in early June and made our way directly to the coast. The U.S. Pacific Coast Highway—from Washington to Southern California—is the most bicycled route in the country. And why not? It’s full of beautiful coastal scenery from top to bottom. Rugged coastline and the occasional walkable beach makes it a...

Over the past few weeks, you might have noticed a few small changes to our site. Nothing major, but we wanted to use a short blog update to let you know what we’ve been doing and what we plan to do on this site of ours. First of all, you might have noticed our awesome...

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!
