Sounds like an awesome trip.

My co-worker (former co-worker?) is about 12 months into a 17 month bike journey from the northernmost point in Alaska to the southern tip of Argentina. He started the journey with just 1 other guy, but they met a pair of Canadians somewhere in Central America who just happened to be doing the same ride, so I think the 4 of them are now riding together.

That ride would be a lot easier though. If you look at a map, it's all down hill from Alaska to Argentina.
