DISCOVER OUR EARTH
The first stage starts on November 14, 2010, and leads via Paris to Dakar
in Senegal. Man/woman and machine will then fly to Buenos Aires. Wachter: "We
have allowed 9 weeks for the section from Argentina to Bogota in Columbia.
The subsequent third stage from crossing the Panama Canal to Los Angeles in
California will be relatively short at 5 weeks."
After the flight over the Pacific, we will start traversing the
Australian continent. "This means 7,000 miles in 4 weeks! Fitness and stamina
will help," stresses Wachter. On the fifth and last stage from Beijing right
across the whole of Asia and half of Europe, participants will be nearing
their final destination, the Alps (8 weeks). On July 20, 2011 it will be time
to celebrate the return of the expedition team in Mieming!
Kevin and Julia Sanders from GlobeBusters, the Guinness Book
recordholders for the fastest circumnavigation of the world, will be
supporting Edelweiss. Wachter: "Let's discover the entire globe!" SOURCE Edelweiss Bike Travel
