On July 5th i am flying out to Seattle with two of my oldest friends Tim and Nick Martin. We have a flight booked back from Boston on August 21st with only our bikes and whatever our bank accounts allow us to, to get there in time.

 

Our aim is to cycle a minimum of 2500 miles during this time, camping out and roughing it along our way across the entire country. I hadn't jumped on a bike in nearly ten years when i planned this trip at the start of the year so it's quite a daunting one.

 

To help me get through this exhausting adventure, it'd be great knowing i am raising some big money for Northamptonshire's Air Ambulance service that runs entirely on donations. Maybe if we raise enough they'll fly all the way out to the U.S to pick me up when i inevitably get chased by a bear in the Rockies ;)

 

I am planning on taking my video camera to document the trip, so when i get back and get the production finished i'm happy to give everybody a copy on DVD who sponsors me.
