My name is Antoine, I am French, and I have been passionate about cycling since I was young. I love cycling adventures in all their forms. I already have several years of experience in France and around the world, but today, I want to aim even higher by embarking on a year-long journey. One of my biggest dreams: biking across the Americas from Banff, Canada to Patagonia.

I have had this project in the back of my mind for many years, imagining an itinerary that could be a sequence of legendary routes. In each country, I will prioritize trails and paths. I want to live unique experiences and discover breathtaking landscapes.

This journey will be an opportunity for me to push my limits, discover new cultures, and reconnect with nature.

My journey will start in Banff, Canada, where I will ride the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route to Breckenridge, Colorado. I will continue on the legendary Colorado Trail. Then, I will tackle the desert part in Utah by crossing the state southward through the Grand Staircase to join the Arizona Trail, another legendary trail!

Next will be Mexico (6000 km) and then… Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina…
