Annalisa and Erik from Miles of Portraits return to talk about their next adventure and facing your fears on bicycle tour. Pedalshift Live is coming in December... what works best? Friday night 12/6 or Saturday afternoon 12/7? Go take the poll here, or at pedalshift.net/live or on FB and weigh in. I'll announce the date within the next few weeks.   The annual Thanksgiving show drops on actual Thanksgiving this year (American Thanksgiving at least, sorry Canada). I wanted to do a refresh of my theme of "thanks bicycle touring." What are YOU thankful about in the realm of bike touring? Call the Pedalshift voicemail and add your voice to things... take a minute and tell everyone what you're thankful for. Be anonymous if you'd like... also email in your thoughts or hit social media with them. The Interview: Facing Your Fears on Bike Tour Annalisa van den Bergh is a graphic designer and visual journalist living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Read her story and view her work at workfrombike.com. Erik Douds is an endurance athlete and global traveler. Also living with T1D, he strives to show that diabetics can go anywhere and do anything. Listen to their prior episodes 107 and 122. - Last time we crossed paths you were in midst of a US tour for Miles of Portraits. I'm curious what you learned on that tour that reinforced or maybe surprised you telling the stories?   - The next Miles of Portraits leg is decidedly more international... why did you choose India?   - The theme for this tour is something that goes hand in hand with adventure... facing fears. What are the fears you're both tackling with this tour?   - A couple I didn't know, but I have friends who did know them, were murdered while on a bicycle tour last summer. Context...see this NYT article.  Read my friend Maggie's piece. How do you process things like this in the context of facing fears on tour?   - Let's talk more about the route you're planning - where are you traveling and are you focusing on the portraits element most or are you doing events too?   - What are the tools you think you'll rely on most to bridge language and cultural differences?   - Any differences in gear for this trip compared to the past ones?   - How can people follow and support this new trip?   Go support the Kickstarter at milesofportraits.com!   Pedalshift Society As always we like to close out the show with a special shoutout to the Pedalshift Society!
