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

Just posted cheques off to the MS Society for £695 making a current total of £1545. This is money received. numerous other promises of sponsorship. Thanks to everyone.

It would be great encouragement for the tough parts of the ride to know each mile is raising £1 for MS.

Training going reasonably well, although not enough exercise this week to much DIY!

5 pounds of weight to loose before I go.

I will be sending out emails to friends who may not know about the ride next week, so hopefully some more sponsorship will be on its way.

Two months to go. Sponsorship page has £730 already. I have £80 to send in and promises of more.

I am really pleased with this as I have not really fully started sponsorship  requests fully yet.

Many thanks to all who have sponsored me. I really appreciate your support.

Weight coming down having lost 13lbs since Christmas. At least another 7lbs to go before I am happy with my weight.

Chester Chronicle to interview and put article in local paper.

Exercising reasonably well with cycling, running and Gym.  Always could do more though.
