Welcome to my blog. I plan to do occasional posts before I set off and then every
few days on the trip.
On May 12th 2012 I will be dipping the rear wheel of my bike
into the Pacific Ocean
in Los Angeles and heading for the Atlantic in Boston.
I am funding the trip myself, however I am seeking sponsorship for The Multiple Sclerosis
Society. Please consider supporting my sponsorship by clicking on the "Sponsor me " link.
Note all of your donation will be going to the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

I am looking forward to this great challenge and hope you find my blog of interest.
Please enter your email details on the right to receive updates. Thanks

The final 18 miles into Revere Bach Boston

We set off as a group for the last 18 miles to the beach. As we approached the last five miles it started to rain, fortunately it had stopped when we got to the beach.

We had a police escort for the last five miles, with a tv camera crew at the beach.

Then it is on the beach to dip the front wheel in.






A great journey with a great group of people. Much more fun than you might imagine. I have been fortunate to have been able to ride every inch of the way.

We got a lift back by car to the hotel. A quick shower and then off to lunch with Paul and old friend of mine from Boston.

Dismantled the bike ready to fly tomorrow and tonight is a farewell dinner.

The big kahuna is now over apart from the trip home. Not sure I have any wonderful words of wisdom to offer. Perhaps I will do another log entry when it has all sunk in. After seven weeks returning to normal life will take some getting used to.

To finish this blog I wold like to say a big thank you

To Heather for supporting me.
To all of my sponsors for raising over £4,500 for The Multiple Sclerosis Society
To family and friends for their support.
To my fellow riders for their help and friendship
To Tracy and the Crossroads staff for their amazing job in supporting all the riders.
To Minister Sarah and all at Upton URC for their support and prayers.
To Eureka cycles for their help in preparing the bike
