NDSU music education alumnus Nathan Berg, and his two brothers, Isaiah and David, started their 20,000-mile bicycle adventure from Alaska to Argentina on Aug. 7 to raise $60,000 for Lake Agassiz Habitat for Humanity. The brothers are traveling along the Pan-American Highway and plan to finish in May 2012.
The brothers are on a “fully self-supported bike expedition,” which means they use just their bikes, supplies and camping equipment. They received camping, back-county and expedition supplies from Scheels All-Sports and are riding Surly Troll lightweight mountain bikes from Paramount Sports in Fargo.
Microsoft in Fargo is sponsoring an employee donation match program for the cause, and the brothers are pursuing other corporate sponsorships.
