Thanks for visiting. I'm Rob, and I set off on a cycling trip in April 2022. I thought I'd set up a basic website for those interested in following my trip.
I pedalled away from my home in England, with a first destination of Nordkapp at the top of Norway. I then headed for the warmer climes of Southern Europe, with a short time in Morocco towards the end of 2022.
At the start of 2023, I started riding South from Los Angeles, through Latin America, and reached Ushuaia at the bottom of Argentina early 2024.
March 2024, I flew out to New Zealand to ride across there, and a bit of Australia, before flying to Tbilisi in Georgia to start a final leg riding back towards Europe. I arrived in the Netherlands, and the end of the trip, in October 2024.
Overall, I rode over 48'000 km, over a period of two and a half years, and across 46 countries, on six continents.
I'm keeping the main record of my trip on a "crazyguyonabike" journal. This will be updated regularly although might be a bit of a dry read (I cycled here ... then I cycled here ... etc!)
I'm intending (hoping?) to cover some broader themes in the blog on this site - highlights, lowlights, more interesting happenings etc. This won't be updated that regularly...in fact I've kind of given up on it for now but have posted an "end of trip" entry!
In theory, this is the most frequently updated bit. I'm intending to post my location on this Google Map once a day - connectivity permitting
