Thanks so much everyone. As suggested I'll contact the TDA etc. I'm sure I can learn from them. I've previously travelled extensively in Africa, and have also done a 15month unsupported, solo bicycle tour through North, Central and South America. The C-CT I'm planning is very much a personal challen...

Thanks Mattheus. I'll try contacting the people you mentioned. I think it's safe to say Mark Beaumont's record will be safe!

Can anyone advise if they know the current cycling record / time from Cairo to Cape Town, for a +50year old male?

Brilliant article. Thanks for posting

Worth expanding it into a book.

Wetted my appetite for touring the south and north America.

Cheers James

Thanks for reading James, and glad you enjoyed it. Please confirm when you will also be touring South and North America?

Ok friends, I'm now in Oregon, USA and unfortunately getting closer to the finish. I have however restructured my blog so it is far easier to navigate and follow

Thanks again everyone for the great help and advice

Thanks gents for all the advice. I think I'm going to give this a go, assuming my flight land at a sensible time of day

In September I will unfortunately be ending my bicycle tour from Brazil to Canada, and boarding a plane in Vancouver to fly to Manchester :( Once in England, I'll initially be staying with my sister in Batley, West Yorkshire. I'm considering building my bike up on arrival at Manchester Airport, and ...

Thanks so much for this. I'm currently in California, heading north to fly Vancouver to England this October. I haven't booked my flight yet, so if I'm reading correctly, you say I just buy a normal seat/air ticket, then pay $50 when I arrive at the airport with a bicycle packed in a bike box?

Thanks everyone, and apologies for the WordPress layout being so painful. My previous tour blogs are on Crazy Guy On A Bike. I'd have to pay WordPress an annual fee forever more if I want to upgrade the site, and make it more reader friendly.

How is the Ti feeling compared to the Trucker, James? I'm on Disc Trucker myself and love it. However I do ride fully loaded.
