The Bucket List Challenge 2020

~This challenge is canceled due to Covid.  

We hope to see you back here in 2021 ~ 


At the age of twenty-three, Jay Austin took off on his trusty scooter (Rousseau) and roamed 15,000 miles around North America, getting his first taste of freedom, two-wheeled adventure, and simple travel along the way. After summers on the trains of Europe, winters on the buses of India and Nepal, and long holidays driving around the deserts of Namibia and South Africa , Jay decided to bring his bicycle along on his next big trip, a ride through the mountains and valleys of southern Morocco and ultimately around the world.  In Jay's words, 

'There's magic out there, in this great big beautiful world'.


Jay's message was to live in the moment, to take advantage of every moment.  Don't put off your dreams until tomorrow because tomorrow may never come.


'I could die doing what I love, but I could also die never having really lived.  To me, that would have been a far greater tragedy'.

~ Jay Austin


Tragically, at the age of 29, on July 29th, 2018,

while cycling the world by bicycle, 

Jay was murdered in a terrorist attack 

in Tajikistan, a country in Central Asia.
