The Challenge

To cycle of 3,500 miles unsupported through America from Washington D.C. on the Atlantic coast to San Fransisco on the Pacific and attempt to raise £20, 000 for Bone Cancer Research in the process.

The intended route, a planned 58 days in the saddle, consists of three parts

1. The Atlantic Coast
   
2. Transamerica
   
3. Western Express
   

but given the enormity of the journey and our shady navigation skills the possibility of detours in the 10 states in between is high.

Tickets are booked and at 16:00 on the 27th May our journey of a lifetime will be underway.

The Motivation

In February 2007 Joe's sister Hannah was diagnosed with osteosarcoma ~ http://www.halashawks.co.uk/Hannah/.
Her story over the months that followed has been the major motivation/reasoning behind the decision to cycle across the USA raising money for Bone Cancer Research ~ http://www.bonecancerresearch.org.uk/.
