I once met this guy from Chicago - well, disturbed his dawn mediatation beside a lake in Guatemala - called Bob Lutsky. He cycled from Alaska to Patagonia (free online book here) then did Cairo-Cape town, and finally Moscow-Beijing. Also done plenty of cycling around Europe. Have a root around on his site - plenty of good tips about long-distance cycling (although not fixed) and some cracking photos.
