Hi I’m Caco Whitaker, tour guide in Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern Brazil. I love cycling along local beaches, so my idea is exactly that: lead groups of cycle tourists, while travelling along the beaches of Rio Grande do Norte State. As cycling can only be done during low tide, enough time is available for other sports such as snorkeling, kayaking, buggy car rides etc. Local network of hotels is very good, with a wide range of prices according to facilities offered besides renting of bycicles is quite easy. The partnership : I as a local specially trained guide + logistic man . You have the travel agency structure + main guide . The general idea is as above exposed, and I expect your preliminary reaction before entering further details. Yours sincerely Caco Whitaker

View on FacebookPEDAL SOUTH POST-PRODUCTION UPDATE! Howdy, folks. Been a long & hot couple of summer months since our last FB update, but we promise it's not due to a lack of work getting done or exciting news: WORK PROGRESS: We've had some really great talks with many different people in the film world which, aside from all the helpful advice we've gained, have already secured us some great resources for the fall, which is when the real editing & mixing will begin. But before that can happen we have to finish our current task of sifting through and narrowing down the (no joke) 1,500+ hours of footage we accumulated in our 21 months on the road...that means weeks and weeks of each of the four of us (plus a few FANTASTIC University of Texas film school interns) watching, yearning for the past, cutting footage...watching, wallowing in nostalgia, cutting footage...all day long. EXCITING NEWS: We'll keep the exciting news coming—there's plenty of it—but for this coming week we'll especially ask that you keep an eye out for your favorite ragtag cycling doc crew in the Austin American-Statesman newspaper! We were interviewed for an article about our team, journey and film last month, and finally the time has come to see our shining faces and hopefully not too embarrassing words in print. We'll put up another post when it's out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the meantime, if you aren't already following along, be sure to keep up with our Instagram account: " pedalsouth " where Thomas has begun posting fresh photos & little stories from the ride in the order our journey took place! He's been posting some beautiful Alaska shots lately (like this image you see here), so there's a whole lot more to come. Love, Dyar and the Pedal South boys.
