I Ride Therefore, I Transam

Journeys end, Astoria OR 

Well folks this leg of the journey is over, on the 6th August 2010 at 10 am I officially finished my 4600 mile Trans America cycle ride following the Adventure Cycling Associations Trans Am route East to West.

The journey was a test of physical and mental stamina, but with every corner and new horizon offering stunning scenery, chance encounters with great people and a million memories, the rewards far outweighed the effort.

I now feel the fittest I’ve ever felt in my adult life and certainly the slimmest! If you’ve ever considered doing something like this, all I can say is go for it, you’ll never regret it!

Thanks to all the people I met on route who helped make the ride such a great experience and thanks also for your kind sponsorship which has raised £700 (inc gift aid) for Shelterbox.

There are still stories to be told, so watch out for new Blog posts in the coming weeks. I am also planning my next leg of the ride and will be announcing that soon.

A wet & windy Pacific Ocean!

Until then I am enjoying some R&R on Vancouver Island Canada.
