I can show them how beautiful the world is from a bike. I'd like to show them why Spain is a paradise. In Spain, you learn about design and revelation: plazas lead to inner plazas, walls within walls open in surprising spaces, where hidden fountains run and ferns hang from ancient bricks. Streets cascade down to broader plazas and ramblas, overlooking crecent beaches and ports choked with the masts of sailing yatchs, and you can hear the chimes from the ropes of the ringing. On a bicycle, you never know whats around the next bend, when a view may open up, or the Alps may shear off to the Sea....A bicylcle is a long sought means of transportation for all of us who have runaway hearts. Our first bike is a matter of curb jumping puddle splashing liberation; its a freedom from supervision, from carpools and curfews...More plainly, its the first chance for us to choose our own direction. -Lance, 'Every Second Counts' Labels: Alaska, Cycling, Zero Limits posted by Zero Limits at 7:16 AM |
Zero Limits 08
 The Zero Limits Expedition series was initiated by the SMU Office of Student Life. With the aim of providing students the opportunity to grow through adventure learning, this series challenges one to explore, experience and truly exemplify the human spirit. Alaska is the third installment of this series after successful expeditions in Nepal(2005) and France(2006). About Alaska
Having done Asia(Nepal'05) and Europe(France'06), North America was the continent of choice. Known for its vast wilderness, picturesque scenery, mountain ranges and teeming wildlife, Alaska is the epitome of the Great American Wilderness.
Tick Tock!

About Team Zero Limits 08.
As a team, we seek to build the fighting spirit that justifies this expedition. 7 hours of cycling a day for 25 days will push our body and spirit to its very limit. It is up to our individual tenacity to keep striving to attain the success we so desire. When we started this mission, we were not cyclist, yet alone sportsmen. But this battle is won in our hearts and minds; the body only serves as a medium. We believe that with an undying spirit and dedicated efforts, we can achieve anything we set our hearts to. This expedition provides the truest test of that.
