Gregg Bleakney
A two-year bicycle journey from Alaska to Chile ends with a new career in photography.
In July 2005, two good friends from Seattle set out on a journey that was, from the beginning, meant to be life-changing. Two years later, one would complete the trip. His life would indeed be profoundly different from when he started. But not in any way he expected.
When Gregg Bleakney began his epic bicycle trek from Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, he was a former software salesman who was crossing the threshold into his 30s, a onetime track star in the triple jump who had blown out a knee and missed competing for the Olympics. When he finished his trip two years later, at the southernmost tip of Chile, he had become a photographer with a brilliant eye for landscape.
