The beginning

This was the first time I saw the frame that would become my bike. Classic Italian steel framed road bike brought back from the 80’s.. with a vengeance.

Day 1 of London to Monte Carlo. Friday June 14th 2013

This is just the warm up apparently. More concerned about the overnight ferry crossing to be honest.

A fun evening at the home of @popularmechanics @runnersworldmag and @bicyclingmag
I wonder how long Bar Harbor to Key West would have taken me on this? #bike #bicycle #pennyfarthing #cycling
Couple of original jerseys in the @bicyclingnl office.
Back on a “bike” for the first time since I completed #theatlanticcoastchallenge Upgraded the gym with a @onepeloton Great to be back in the saddle. Snow ❄️ ⛄️ is coming but it’s toasty in here 🚴
New blog post wrapping things up. Link in bio. Thank you everyone for all the support.
Airport welcome committee and cake. Great to be home. Jules, Josie and her buddy Taylor (who stood in for Sam who was MIA).
I did it. #theatlanticcoastchallenge completed
Bye bye Miami and hello the Keys. Saw my first rd sign for key west and ended up on a lovely balcony after 82miles in the saddle. This place has a tiki bar and I’m off to find it. Last day tomorrow.!!! #theatlanticcoastchallenge #cycling #bikeadventure #bikepacking
It’s getting harder and harder to not ditch the bike, grab a cocktail and head for the water. Look at these Florida beaches and boardwalks. 2 days to go!! #cycling #bike #theatlanticcoastchallenge
This is Jay. He’s 70 and doing the same trip as me (but started even further north in Canada). We rode together for 20 miles today along Melbourne Beach. You can follow his adventures by googling “America one spoke at a time”. He very kindly slowed down for me on our 20 mile spin!!
