After a lengthy sitting in Terminal 3's O'Neil's having arriving at Heathrow a precautious five hours early we took-off on time and were underway (1600 GMT). Two puzzler crosswords, a lesson from Joe in the on board mini-golf computer game and an epic travel-scrabble battle later we were circling JFK airport (due to bad weather) eager to land.
After a turbulent descent and Joe's running commentary ("that's unusual. I thought the landing-gear was lowered at 9000feet on an AirBus") we were finally on the ground (8ish NY time/0100GMT). Through the finger printing, face recognition test and charming interview ("only you boy's on your bycycling journey? you like girl's boy?") unfortunately the bikes looked pretty battered from the journey. Tired, hungry and keen to get stuck our first American Hamburgers we decided to leave all bike worries until the morning.
2400NY time we were tucked up in our bunk-beds content with the generous patties of meat we'd just demolished and ready for some kip.
Off to explore today and access any damage to the kit. Pictures will hopefully follow shortly.
