[!Expletive Deleted!]

They beat me to it after last years challenge having done 12 counrties including  9 capital cities in 14 days on our own with no back up crew!

I was planning Scotland to South Africa [!Expletive Deleted!] read my mind.

We did 4600miles in 14 days From Malliag to Mallaig via Bulgaria and many countries in between.

Dam, People will think I'm copying them now if I carry on with plans.

We didn't get a penny sponsorship or free bikes cos were not celebrities.
Used our own bikes at our own expense and gave all cash raised to charity witout taking costs. My bikes 9 years old.

I even went to Morrocco to plan the route.

:cry:

I heard that if you go all the way around the world you end up back at the same place. Sounds foolish I know, but rumour has it, the world isnt flat.......................

Of course it isn't flat, if it was then we wouldn't have mountains.
