In a woodland glade I’ve made it to Istanbul on schedule: 2237 miles without a day off from Hyde Park where I set off from three weeks ago. Its been a long journey already and if you want to catch up on the route so far, please do get addicted to www.whereintheworldisjames.com. It uses GPS… Continue reading The first three weeks…

Early days, early doors…

What you doing middle of September?
You might think this is a bit previous but I want to join up with other cyclists on my return from the south coast back up to London. I was thinking that people could join me at any point from Dover to London; Dover is 80 miles, Sittingbourne is 40, Greenwich is 5? The date… Continue reading What you doing middle of September?
