Today, You Can

Today, You Can Cycling from North Pole to South Pole (www.todayyoucan.nl)
[email protected] The project Today, You Can! Physically, the challenges are minor.

starts on the 13th of July 2011 in Deadhorse, Alaska, and ends around New Years’ Eve 2012 in the most Southern point of Argentina, Ushuaia. In 500 days, Aart will cycle more than 19,000 miles through endless forests, dry steppes, dark jungles, outstretched deserts and snow-covered mountains. On the bike, he will carry everything he needs to be as independent and as self-suffcient as possible. Cycl

ing in the barest conditions is about living the unexpected life. Aart will be continuously faced with risks and surprises. Mentally, however, he will have to master droughts, freezing cold, steep climbs, crying hunger and at times loneliness. However, the project is not only about cycling through rough landscapes: it is about people. Along the road, he will make others part of his trip by organizing high school, college and university meetings. Starting from his own experience, Aart will inspire students to take their lives in their own hands and to make their dreams real. Students and followers can enter an online video contest and show what their aspirations are about. Over the last ten years, he has covered more than 16,000 miles in Europe, Russia and the Middle East. This year, join him on his ride as he shares with the world, and in particular students, the message of empowerment: today you can achieve whatever you want.

I am looking forward to be on the bike again. After two years!!! I will be back in Calgary. The first week, I will take the car to see my good old friend Peter Moore who hosted me in his cottage in Montana, USA. Then, my girlfriend and I will be on the bike together for three weeks. After that, I continue another four weeks from Seattle back to Calgary following the American border.

Exactly one year ago, I ended my two year cycling trip in Ushuaia, Argentina. Life has changed a full 180 since then. Life on the bike was free. Free of money, peer pressure and time.

I very well remember the first few times I crossed a time-zone. I got confused when I realised the change of time did not affect my way of living since I only followed the rhythm of the sunset and sunrise. By crossing a time zone, the sun did not set or rise differently than the day before! For two years, time, social pressure and money was not part of my life.

FREEDOM.... I MISS YOU... A LOT!

My journey from the North Pole to the South pole reaches its final stage. Over the 'Salar de Uyuni' and the 'Atacama desert', I find my way into Argentina. F...

I am writing the first chapter of my book... I felt completely lost the first days on the North Slope in Alaska. Why did I want to cycle more than 30,000 kilometers, I was wondering.
