Hello Mike, from Alan, also a newbie.
Cyclist living by Liverpool, England who has done a tandem bike ride across America.
We started in Vancouver and cycled 3,209 miles towards my sister's house in Greenville, SC.
Your planned trip for 2012 sounds great, how will you return to Stamford...cycle back ?
We did the fund raising for Cancer Research UK by giving slide shows/talks to large groups when we returned home to England.
