I recently joined a cycling club through an invitation on Facebook from a rider in Jordan. MTB ALEK They are meeting regularly to ride with other cycling enthusiasts in Jordan. After using Google to translate their message, it was really exciting to see the enthusiasm for cycling in other parts of the world. I can't make it to this event, but it's an invitation to ride the world, those who are lucky to have the experience, should plan ahead and join some international cycling groups [via Facebook.com] and there's opportunity to meet great people sharing common interests in cycling & touring. It's beats the old bus tour...or driving somewhere in your car...if you want to meet people, then step 'outside the box.' I've turned ECO-GREEN these days with avid cycling, but in the 1990's I rode 500-600cc motorcycles and explored America and Canada, it was amazing to meet so many people, and it's sociable being out there without windows, doors, and barriers of comfort.

About the Korean-World Author
Brian has completed his second mountain bike journey, MongoliaX expedition - Crossing Mongolia 2012, an unsupported mountain bike MTB expedition across 2500km of Outer Mongolia from Ulanbaatar to Altai Taven-Bogd National Park bordering China, Russia and Mongolia.
In 2013, as a sequel to a trilogy of cycle tours, Brian enjoyed a more leisure bicycle tour onboard his Koga-Miyata World Traveller seeing the northern tier of the United States and western Canada covering 3400 kilometers / 2000 miles in 30 days. This North American cycle tour was called Totherocktour. Enjoying the adventure of bicycle travel and every great conversation started while traveling on the road - has refueled his inspirations to cycle around the Earth. In 2013, while he cycled solo from the Great Lake State of Michigan, United States to Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. He weaved through local communities and reconnected with friends, family and community after spending almost a decade in Asia.
Brian is now supporting several non-profit foundations through expeditions: IDEAS Foundation of Canada IDEAS is the acronym for Intestinal Disease Education and Awareness Society which supports the IBD community, those suffering from IBD-inflammatory bowel disease, also known as Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis.
