| Janice in India, 2008 |
February 2011 and here I go again. I never search for a cycling trip they just appear from differerent sources.
1) Kolkata to Kalimpong, India in 2008 and 2010 (420 miles) was inspired from an article in the local paper by the Rev. John Webster. He was looking for cyclists to join him on a cycling trip to raise funds for DrGraham's Homes, Kalimpong.
2) Lands End to John O'Groats 2009 (1,000 miles solo, unsupported) was inspired by the Cycling Touring Club forum on that subject.3) Arran to Aberdeen via Fort William 2010 (300 miles Coast to Coast) was to visit my niece Sarah Rooney who lives in Aberdeen and to join friend Shirley McConnel on her 50th birthday in Fort William.
Now my latest venture and the biggest so far is to cycle across America. The idea came from talking to Vicki McAllister at my Zumba class. She knew I cycled and mentioned the TV program about the two 'elderly' ladies who had cycled America. I had seen it and we had a laugh about various aspects of it. However a seed had been sown and that evening I googled 'Cycling Across America' and up came loads of information about touring companies and blogs from people who had completed it. I was hooked.
