Adventure Travel Update: Daryl and Davy Already Setting Two-Wheeled Records

August 15, 2008 at 1:00 PM | 1 Comment

Back in April, we filled you in on Daryl and Davy Vogel, 10-year-old twin brothers planning to ride from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina. (They were nice enough to invite their parents along.) And though they've "only" made it to British Columbia so far, they've already managed to set a world record: They're the youngest duo to ever bike the whole 1,422-mile historic Alaska Highway.

Daryl took some time to write a blog post about the accomplishment:

WooHoo! We made it to "Mile 0." While we were riding there, Davy rode right in front of a car. Luckily he made it back to the shoulder in time. We got to stay at the Best Western. They have a waterslide!

After the kids finally got out of the pool, the family kept heading south. Only 27,700 miles left to go!

    Thanks!

    Thanks for posting the update!!  We are very, very proud of our boys - they've been absolutely amazing so far.  We are working with Guinness to establish the new record for the youngest to cycle the Alaska Highway - hopefully they'll be listed with Guinness in a few weeks!
