Summary

Bond Almand just rode a record setting pace from the northern tip of Alaska to the southern tip of Argentina. Over 75 absolutely wild days, Bond rode into ferocious headwinds, among throngs of cities, highways, oil fields, high mountains, great plains and desert, and so much more to make it to Ushuaia, Argentina. More than 13,500+ miles later, he made it. Keep his website nearby: www.bondalmand.com as you'll want to cross reference it often. Check out drinkAG1.com/tedking
