WT: Vyacheslav Stoyanov REcycle Expedition 2010 Around the Mediterranean











Vyacheslav Stoyanov REcycle:
Hello my friend,
Many thanks for your activities in my blog. I made you administrator in CYCLE MEDITERRANEAN 2010 cycling relay-race around the Mediterranean Sea group. You can use my group like yours. :) Slav

Cool Slav, thanks for extending this invitation! I hope we can partner in the future on another expedition too. I am working on planning for the PanAmerican in 2012. Your campaign experience is definitely great to see in action. Already you have met many people from different cultures, languages, but all connected through the Mediterranean Sea. Environmental focus is key to moving people towards a healthier world, what better way to promote this, than on a bicycle! Well Done! Keep it up!!!!

Vyacheslav Stoyanov: [excerpt from his website, please visit & donate to the 2010 campaign] (:
"Islands of plastic garbage grow at such a rate that they threaten to become plastic continents. Plastic refuse is found not only on the surface, but also on the bottom of water basins. There isn’t a place on Earth, unaffected by disposable plastic packaging ...We need to act now, in order to save ourselves, our children and ensure continuation of life and Nature as we know it ..."
Are we going to give Nature a chance?

Everyone can help. Here's how:
  • If we plant a tree or other vegetation.
  • If we help a plant or an animal survive.
  • If we use water wisely and keep water sources clean, if we do not pollute the soil and keep the air we breathe clean.
  • If we reduce our garbage output and dispose of it in appropriate way.
  • If we educate ourselves on contributing for better quality of life to all people.
  • If we change our attitude towards our natural habitat.
  • If we help others learn how to take care of their habitat.
  • If we draw at least one follower to the cause of preserving the Earth clean for her children.
Reading Vyacheslav's blog updates and seeing the expedition unfold
through his groups on Facebook has really shown the possibilities that one individual can have to impact the environment in which we live. It starts with raising social awareness
about ecological and environmental issues happening around us, and by us. Taking the necessary steps to practice the 3 R's, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is a step in the right direction. Also, it's important to consider the packaging when shopping for consumable products, such as water -now popularized as the 'clean, safe' alternative to drinking tap water.

Unknowingly, we feed on an industry producing plastic, as Vyacheslav has so appropriately described as "Islands of plastic garbage" that are in fact, are visible in environmental pollution now seen around the world. The chemicals eventually leech into the water we drink, the air we breathe, the environment-which we depend on for our own survival and the sustainability of other living things which share a place on this Earth.

Desertification in some areas, rising sea levels in others, melting of the polar ice caps are leading to catastrophic changes in local, regional, and global ecosystems. The garbage produced by humans to package elements such as water, is purely disregarding the natural habitat that once flourished on Earth. In order to reverse the effects of environmental degradation, we should begin to look at the packaging of products that we consume each day, look at the weekly accumulation, and think about where all those plastic bottles and containers come from and where they end up going in the process.
The story of stuff covers this topic quite well. Have a look. Vyacheslav has completed an expedition of similar nature in 2009 around the Black Sea, and now in 2010 he is cycling around the Mediterranean Sea raising more social and environmental consciousness about the trash individuals, communities and entire countries continue to throw away.

Perhaps, the physical act of 'just throwing it away,' makes it all too easy to lose sight of where it was created in the first place.

I am considering it now [not to generalize, but to give a specific example], reflective of the dozens of "Gatorade" bottles I've consumed and recycled, but still contributed to this endless of cycle of producing and consuming products made of plastic that cannot be reused. The reality is that any material created must be destroyed while it is recycled - in that process, there is more pollution being created. Therefore, I have switched to the reusable bottles for cycling and stopped purchasing those products designed without the ecosystem in mind.
iTHINK!Foundation is supporting this sort of personal empowerment to make the right choice when considering the environment first when we buy consumable products. Can we reuse the packaging that this product comes in? Unlike clothing which we reuse for several years and recycle through second hand shops, food packaging isn't reused, it's definitely thrown away. So, when we throw it away, does the responsibility for protecting our Earth's environment go with it?

Is throwing the plastic into the
collections, or recycle actually enough to say, "I consciously did my part to help save the Earth." Perhaps, it's a step in the right direction, however, there is much more to that "story of stuff" we commonly overlook.

Well, living and cycling in South Korea has made me quite reflective of the damage and abuse the Earth endures through human development and urbanization in replacement of the natural environment.

My dream today is of cycling without a mask, enjoying clear skies free from pollutants and other harmful chemicals...but it's tough to find these days in this part of the world, and that pattern is expanding with global developments, it's not necessarily a good thing to change nature, we should learn to follow it, preserve it, and make our footprints -lighter and leave no trace we were here.

The story of stuff is a worthy video intro to environmental issues and production of consumable goods that are often disregarded as commonplace, it's time to say, iTHINK! and start actively doing something for the Earth our children will inherit.

In what ways have my 'consumer' habits changed since seeing the iTHINK! campaign? Here's a few examples:
  • I am using reusable water bottles for cycling and refilling at public places now (no more commercial gatorade bottles to throw away senselessly)
  • I am using fresh fruits and vegetables as fuel on cycling expedition training in South Korea.
  • Using less electricity/gas in lighting/heating the apartment
  • Using fans instead of air conditioners in hot summer climate
  • Using water sparingly for washing dishes, wear more clothes indoors and turn down/off the heat required without it.
  • Stop buying food products in non-reusable packaging.
(: And now, here's the story of stuff...iTHINK! you will enjoy!!!!


Thanks Vyacheslav - Great initiative that works!

Cycling in Korea :: Updates on MTB touring & related photos













I think it's becoming a more popular choice for some MTB riders using their bikes for distance touring. Tom @Ride-Earth.org.uk has fully converted his Kona for longer world touring expeditions. I enjoy using my MTB on longer rides in Korea. If you ride a high-end bike, the offroad options are plenty here. If you ride a lighter-quality build as I do, offroading is good, but seeing these OEM -SR Suntour forks bottom out on descents isn't fair play. I don't have the extra money to toss into high-end, tough builds that are available in this market. So, I enjoy a little XC riding, and usually take to paved roads to cover the extra ground required to get a good physical workout. My last three 'revival rides' from the respiratory attack I experienced cycling for a few hours in the Asian, "yellow dust" -made life hectic for about 8 weeks of brutality. Since then, I have finally recovered from extensive antibiotic treatments, then natural yogurt treatments and fresh fruit to restore the healthy bacteria again in the bowels. What a rough ride, hard to describe. So, cycling has returned in my routine here in South Korea. Recent photos are posted covering some of the scenes. There's a few photos taken in Gangneung, Gangwon Province where I now live with my family -Mi Sung and Matthew, and baby is coming in less than two weeks!! Back to riding, recent rides southbound and northbound from Gangneung (you can take an Express Bus here from any part of Korea, your bike in the storage compartment below the bus, remove front wheel, load, easy and welcomed by bus drivers too). Recent rides: to Donghae, Mureung Valley (with my friend Brian), and return to Gangneung in a day covered 129.7km. Yesterday, an exceptional day on the bike, 148.4km return trip to Sokcho on Hwy 7 and return to Gangneung. I also enjoy the trail riding around the beach area in Gangneung, there are a few pine forests to weave through while making your way north. The bicycle network continues north to the municipal areas furtherest rural extension where there is minimal development, a great area to ride to relax. I prefer high-mileage rides to cover the greatest distances, the residual feeling is incredible.

Refueling on the Rides:
I have also become an advocate of fueling on fruit through your rides. Remember to drink 1L of water per hour, hard to forget when you really need it. Raisins, apples and bananas are my favorite fuel on the road. I don't eat lunch after leaving home, it's all fruit and water and the power for the riding will continue throughout the day. I strongly recommend giving it a try, avoid the Powerbars and all the other snack foods that were designed to help you, it's nothing but junk! Go natural!

Stats: Refueled on 250g of raisins, 5 apples, 5L of H2O. No snacks, no power bars, no unnatural ingredients. I can swear by this, fruit is best fuel during the distance rides, and water.

Distance: 148.4km
Ride time: 6 hours, 8 minutes.
Avg speed: 24.1km/h
Max speed 56.5km/h

So, there's lots of riding and many aspects to Korea's terrain that make it a great place, just protect your lungs from dust, pollution and other hazards as I learned this spring, it can become almost a lethal dose of dirt. Peace from the rides, keep pedaling and enjoying nature's gifts -health, nature, fruit and the great places we can see from the saddle of our bikes. ^^!
