Go Roughly manufactures dog accessories and a renowned motorcycle dog rack.

Yep, for putting your dog on your bike. a renowned motorcycle dog rack.

Yep, for putting your dog on your bike.

It's pretty slick.

Jess and Greg are also motorcycle travelers,

so they've sort of developed their lives

so that they can travel on their motorcycles and run their business from the road. their Well, last year, their dog Moxie suddenly died from complications from a routine surgery.

Heartbroken, but dog invested, they set out to find a new pup, train it to ride the motorcycle, and then continue on their journey.

And they did that. They got a new pop. They named it whimsy, trained it to ride on the back

of the bike, and then once again they're headed off to ride around the world.

But according to Greg, Jess sort of enjoys setting challenges for them.

That's over and above traveling by motorcycle around the world with a dog on the back.

This time the challenge was taking it up another notch.

The Pan American Highway runs far north to the tip of North America all the way down to the south of South America.

It's a long network of roads that many people ride from

top to bottom or bottom to top. Mainly, really, they ride it from top to bottom because that

way you'll finish in a place that you can celebrate because if you finish in the north there's just a remote desolate

settlement that's dry not much to celebrate anyway the only break in the

route from going north to south in either direction is between

Central America and South America.

It's called the Darien Gap.
