Very well written story. You should consider submitting it to https://www.adventurecycling.org. They have a blog on their website and a really nice, well-loved magazine that publishes (in print) stories and photos like yours. I've done 600, 800 mile and 1400 mile tours, but never 5000, and never alone. It takes physical and emotional strength, courage and perseverance to do what you did. What an adventure!
What a thoughtful and poignant essay. It would have been a completely different trip if you hadn’t been by yourself…..lots of time for self reflection and observation!
We are really seeing the effects of our carelessness on the planet now more than ever….the heat and the worsening storms. It’s very scary.
Fantastic, Finbar. Beautifully written account of yet another brave adventure. Jimmy would be so proud 💔
