Question

自行车梦想之旅

Many people dream of going on a great travel adventure(冒险). Most of us keep dreaming; others make it happen.

Gregg Beakney's dream was to travel the Americas from top to bottom. He got the idea after he finished a 1，600­kilometer bike ride. Gregg's friend, Brooks Allen, was also a cyclist(骑自行车的人). The two friends talked and decided their goal: they would travel from Alaska to Argentina(阿根廷) by bike. To pay for the journey, Gregg and Brooks worked and saved money for years. Once they were on the road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in hostels(招待所). In many places, along their route, local people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food.

During their trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through deserts, rainforests and mountains. They visited modern cities and explored ancient ruins such as Tikal in Guatemala(危地马拉). In many places, they met other cyclists from all over the world. In May 2007, they traveled twelve countries in two years, and over 30，500 km (19，000 miles) later, Gregg finally reached Ushuaia, Argentina, at the top of South America. Gregg and Brooks kept a record of their adventures in an online blog. The trip taught both men a lot about traveling. Here is some of Gregg's advice：

Travel light. The less baggage you have, the less you'll worry about.

Be flexible. Don't plan everything. Then you'll be more relaxed and happier, even when there are challenges along the way.

Be polite. A traveler told Gregg, “Always remember that nobody wants to fight or cheat a nice guy”．
