from Texas to New York: Saying goodbye to the open seas, we’ve switched from sailboat to saddle. "We" are Maren and Matthias from Vast Forward. Since 2015, we've been living and working aboard our sailing boat VAST, steering the course of our company from the ocean waves. But beyond sailing, we’re also passionate about cycling! Our latest journey started in Austin, Texas. After covering over 3,551 kilometers, we arrived in the vibrant streets of New York City in May. Our trip has been filled with incredible experiences, new connections, and countless memories - and it’s not over yet! In late summer, the experiment continues as we embark on the second part of this tour: cycling back from NYC to Austin. Along the way, we’ll share more stories, insights, and challenges from the road. Stay tuned for this next leg and check out our YouTube and Instagram channel! In keeping with our passion for sustainability, every kilometer we pedal during this adventure sends a dollar to organizations close to our hearts: Ocean Conservancy creates solutions for a healthy ocean, aligning perfectly with our life on the open waters. The League of American bicyclists is dedicated to ensuring safer and more accessible paths for enthusiasts like us as we explore the country by bike.
