The End of the Road

We wanted to load this video onto the site to share with everyone. When we arrived at the Temash River we found a half-full Sprite bottle rolling around the truck so we thought it would be fun to do an impromptu Victory Lane celebration. We discovered that rehearsing things like this pays out […]

Making it to Crique Sarco

We made it! The last ride to Crique Sarco was hard going up and down the dirt road through the jungle, but the prize at the end was well worth it. Scott and I gave each other a congratulatory high-five as we road the last 20 yards to the Temash River, because we […]

Back to the Bikes!

We have decided to move on with the bike ride, and we are preparing to drive back south to start up where we left off. We know we did the right thing by postponing the trip for safety reasons, but now that we know that Belize is going to be alright, we are pumped […]

However, after talking to locals today, this upgrade was a blessing because it meant that the hurricane came in fast and didn’t spend much time loitering in Belize. Also, Belize caught the southern part of […]

More about the MegaVoice Audio Bibles

Jill-Ann had asked in a comment about the MegaVoice Audio Bibles that we gave out in Santa Familia and Billy White. To describe these devices in one word, I would have to say… AMAZING! They are durable, work well, and they put a bible in the hands of someone that would otherwise not […]

Another Hurricane Update

Scott and I are sorry that we were not able to send an update yesterday, but we discovered that there is no place to get online in the costal town of Dangriga.  The good news is that we did great yesterday getting over the mountains and were able to make it to Dangriga (54 miles) […]

A Message from the Road

We have been filming a good portion of the ride, but we have not had the time to put more of it online. When we get back we will share more with you all.
Enjoy this, for now!

Hurricane “Dean” Update

So that everyone knows, there is a hurricane heading towards Belize. We are tracking the storm and will adjust our plans as needed. Our hope, and prayer, is that the storm turns away from Belize.
Tomorrow (Saturday) we are going to be in the Cayo District (Western Belize), so we are in the best […]
