SUMMARY:Joy Ride: A Bike Odyssey from Alaska to Argentina\, Book Talk
CONTACT:Kristen Jokinen
DESCRIPTION:Throughout their travels and adventures\, one theme has 
 emerged -- the kindness of people. -MARK MORICAL\, The Bulletin. 
 \nExplorers Kristen and Ville Jokinen met and fell in love while scuba 
 diving in Vietnam. Ville then left his native Finland to join Kristen in 
 Oregon and together they embarked on a life-changing two-year cycling 
 adventure covering 18\,000 miles from Prudhoe Bay\, Alaska\, to Ushuaia\, 
 Argentina. Despite never having cycled further than around the block\, 
 they persevered unrelenting\, punishing rain and wind\, altitude 
 sickness\, dog attacks\, bike accidents\, and countless flat tires to 
 cycle between the ends of the earth. Kristen and Ville believe that 
 kindness connects us to our shared humanity. They held babies\, attended 
 quinceaneras\, drank pulque\, played soccer\, and visited schools. People 
 in Mexico\, Central America\, and South America invited them into their 
 hearts and homes\, allowed them to camp in their fields and farms\, and 
 acted as personal tour guides. Kristen and Ville are love on wheels\, and 
 who doesn't need a little more love in their lives?\nStart at 6\, get
