  1. I'm hoping someone here can help. I lost my saved links list and am looking for
    the URL to a rider making a long trip from Anchorage Alaska to the tip of
    Chile. I got the original link from one of the bicycle news groups and
    hopefully someone still has it. The last I heard was in July and the rider was
    in Canada. The main points about the rider is she had done a "face plant" on a
    trailer hitch while commuting to work. This accident encouraged her to go ahead
    with her dream trip. She had served in the Peace Corp. and was passionate about
    conservation. Her home base was East Coast, I think maybe Pennslyvania. TIA.

    Thanks congo for the link to Chrystine Roy's page. I did not realize there are
    so many young women making these incredible journies. Like you I googled the
    info I had but after many wrong pages gave up. This is the reason for the entry
    in this news group. One of the cycling news groups is where I got the original
    link and was hoping the OP would catch my post here and recoginize himself. The
    last time I had visited the mystery rider's page, she had not posted anything
    for about 3 weeks in July. I was wondering what became of her. The rider that I
    was following is a yooung female solo rider traveling from Anchorage, Alaska
    through Canada, U.S., and Mexico. She planned to jump over Panama and continue
    her journey down to the southern tip of Chile.

  5. have you tried searching google groups? It searches all past posts of
    nearly every post ever made... If you can remember exact phrasing you
    can pull up posts from years ago.
