Well I made it! After 5197 cycled kilometres (3229 miles) I went from east (UN Building New York) to the west Long Beach California, all on two wheels. I am happy that I did it. It was mostly pure discipline to be here in time. Stand up early and keep cycling most of the days, [...]
The last few weeks I crossed the centre of the United States and there is one word that describes my daily life best: “SUFFERING!”

A day in a cyclists life,

After a long 10 days rest in Lisboa and New York City I am cycling again.
The first three days in completely settled area out of Manhattan, over George Washington Bridge into New Jersey. It is not my best cycling with lot of traffic and absolutely no places to camp. I check in to an expensive [...]
New York City is really something special. I come in by subway and enter the town at Madison Square Garden I am amazed and enjoy the town for 6 days.
Check out the pictures attached …
It was not easy coming here. In Lisboa I check everything for the flight ahead so no bad surprises will pop [...]

but see for yourselfe …
The training is completed!
Just came in yesterday directly along the coast to Praça do Comércio, probably the best way to enter the town. I like Lisboa, the whole town is on hills. You see house roves covering the slopes everywhere and on top of the hills you find nice cafes overlooking [...]
