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

A delayed start for a 108 mile ride to Springfield Illinois

A short blog entry today, two reasons.

Firstly our normal start time of 6 45 am was delayed to 10 15 am due to thunder and lightning storms. We essentially hung around in the hotel lobby
waiting for the weather to clear.

As you can see team fully prepared.

Secondly as we left too late the focus was on getting to the other end rather than taking photos.

We crossed the illinois river





The ride was fairly flat though large corn fields and we kept dry.

I arrived at the hotel around 6 30 pm so it was quick shower before dinner and off to bed.

Tomorrow hopefully a soft 84 miles into Champaign for a rest day.
