Smart humor in the face of a tremendous undertaking

After months of planning, Josh Thomas & J.J. Kelley pack up all their essentials to Pedal to the Midnight Sun. On June 7th, 2006, Kelley and Thomas began a 1,200-mile bike expedition across Alaska, from the Pacific to the Arctic Ocean. They would attempt to reach the far northern petroleum fields of Prudhoe Bay solely under their own power. Armed with two camcorders, the adventurers documented their experience: a people powered program.
