This isn’t just a world record attempt. It’s a call to rise.
Lady JB Owen and Peter Giesin are on a mission to become the first tandem team in history to ride over 305,000 feet (93,000 meters) of elevation gain across North America—a feat that mirrors climbing Mount Everest ten times.
And they’re doing it while cycling from the southern tip of Mexico to the top of Alaska, across 81 days, 9,100 kilometers, and every kind of terrain nature can throw at them.
But this isn’t about statistics.
This is about the story behind every climb.
Every meter they climb is a metaphor for the uphill battles children face every day in their pursuit of education. No school. No books. No desk. No chance.
That’s why JB and Peter are riding—not for applause, but for access.
They’re riding to raise awareness and funds to build Inspiration Classrooms—modular, eco-conscious, solar-powered learning spaces for kids in underserved communities around the world.
Their elevation gain isn’t just measured in feet.
It’s measured in futures.
1 Epic Journey to Empower Lives.
This Ride Is A Statement
We live in a world desperate for bold, heart-centered action.
This record attempt proves that purpose is the greatest fuel of all.
It challenges outdated limits of age, gender, and ability.
It redefines adventure as activism.
It reminds us that progress is never flat—there are always climbs.
And it invites everyone watching to ask: “What mountain are you here to move?”
Like many of us, the lockdowns of 2020 left JB and Peter feeling stuck, and they longed for a way to reconnect... with nature, with purpose, and with each other. That longing led them to cycle from Red Deer, AB to Ottawa, ON, a journey that combined adventure, charity, and the spirit of resilience during uncertain times.
Inspired by the success of that first ride, JB and Peter committed to making cycling a yearly tradition—one that would challenge their limits, ignite inspiration in others, and champion meaningful causes with every kilometer traveled. To date, they've pedaled over 30,000 kilometers across North America.
This year, they’ve embarked on their most ambitious route yet: from the sun-drenched shores of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to the wild, majestic reaches of Homer, Alaska. It’s a journey of extremes—heat to cold, desert to forest, sea to sky—but what fuels them isn’t just the landscape, it’s the people.
Over the years, JB and Peter have discovered that the most unforgettable moments come from the heartfelt connections they’ve made along the way. Whether in a small village or a bustling town, people have consistently opened their hearts with kindness. These experiences continue to affirm their belief in the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit and the profound beauty of human connection.
