A HILARIOUS TALE OF ADVENTURE

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. 


A tremendous expanse of adventure awaited them. They were challenged by some of the most physically demanding roads in North America. Throughout the challenge they would find time to visit an Alaska wedding, take a flight plane to the glaciers of Mt. Denali, and visit the real Santa Clause in the North Pole.  However, the ultimate question may remain unanswered: whether there really is something tangible to take from such a life experience…other than Josh’s new fleece pants.



TOTAL RUN TIME 67 MINUTES
