July 8, 2025 — San Diego, California – Global changemakers, entrepreneurs, and cycling duo Lady JB Owen (55) and Peter Giesin (57) have officially become world record holders as the first couple to cycle the entire Baja Peninsula—both north to south and south to north—on a tandem bicycle.
The milestone marks a powerful moment in their ongoing 2025 journey, as they cross into the United States via San Diego on their ambitious 80-day, 9,000 km tandem cycling expedition from Cabo San Lucas to Homer, Alaska—part of their global movement Cycle to Ignite Humanity.
This is far from their first epic cycling expedition. In 2020, JB and Peter cycled from Calgary to Ottawa, sparking the first pedal-powered chapter of their mission. In 2021, they conquered a 6,500 km journey from Calgary to the Top of the World Highway in the Yukon and back, navigating some of the most remote terrain in North America. In 2022, they completed a full coast-to-coast ride across Canada, cycling 10,000 km from Vancouver to Newfoundland. Then in 2023, they pushed further—riding from Calgary to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in just 34 days, an extraordinary feat of stamina, synchronicity, and heart.
Their current journey features 93,000 meters (305,000 feet) of elevation gain—the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest ten times—stretching across three countries and weaving through countless communities. But this ride is about more than the physical challenge. It’s a bold, living example of what’s possible when you set your mind to something and commit with unwavering purpose. Every rotation of the pedals is proof that extraordinary outcomes are born from clear intention and courageous action. JB and Peter ride not to test limits, but to transcend them—demonstrating that when you decide to do something truly meaningful, the world rises to meet you. This is not just a world record attempt—it’s a message to humanity: anything is possible when your purpose is bigger than your comfort zone.
“Crossing into the U.S. as world record holders isn’t about the title—it’s about proving what’s possible when love, vision, and mission ride together,” says Lady JB Owen, CEO of Ignite You Inc. and Chief Humanity Officer of Ignite Humanity. “We want people to see that it’s never too late to do something extraordinary—to ride for a purpose, to share your voice, to build something meaningful.”
Lady JB’s cycling legacy began during the pandemic in 2020, when she and Peter rode from Calgary to Ottawa—an experience that inspired her bestselling book, “Wisdom from the Back of the Bike.” The book captures her personal reflections on perseverance, partnership, and purpose, and serves as a heartfelt invitation for readers to live more boldly.
As they continue pedaling toward Alaska, their story is being tracked and shared in real time on www.EpicTandem.com, where supporters can follow their route, donate to build more schools, and even join virtual ride-alongs from around the world.
JB and Peter are the founders of Ignite You Inc. and Ignite Publishing, companies dedicated to transforming lives through the power of personal storytelling, conscious communication, and global impact. Their mission is to help people ignite their purpose, share their truth, and elevate humanity—one story, one voice, one spark at a time.
Together, Lady JB and Peter are not just cycling—they are proving that passion, purpose, and partnership can truly Ignite Humanity.
