French Sibling-in-Arms - part deux

Stopping by the French world tourers' FB-page, we found a few pictures we wanted to share.
These photos reek of sheer class and explorer's spirit:





Don't sleep. Grind.

VéloSoleX-touring: Siblings-in-Arms attempt to cross the world!

We are both glad and mad to see that there is serious Vélo-touring competition in the world. French Ophelie and Paul-Henri Vanthournout are right now taking on an immense journey, planning to visit more than 20 countries on their fierce 3800's:

Their site avelosolex.com is available in French, Spanish and English and, as far as their English posts go, they're now hitting the roads of Chile.
Crossing the Andes supposedly was a hassle with less than one Hp and a fine selection of heavy spare parts and outdoor equipment!

We salute these French siblings and will keep this site updated with news from the world-touring grindermen.
