Apologies if you'd been expecting my monthly update and got radio-silence... It was the first time I've missed a blog post in the last seven years. My excuse is that I've been embroiled in all manner of projects since coming back and the blog had to take a back seat. But I will continue to post here.
Last weekend I was at the exciting Cycle Touring Festival giving a presentation about my world ride as well as a number of how-to talks, alongside superstars of the cycle touring world. It was a lot of fun. For Londoners - I'm speaking again at an Explorers Connect event on Thursday 16th June in the Prince of Wales pub, Covent Garden. You will need to buy a ticket in advance (there will be none on the door) and they're limited, so get one here.
I've also been putting together a couple of videos. The one below focuses on some of the highlights of my trip, and for me, that meant people.
When I speak to audiences about my ride, there's a general lusting for the bad stuff - men with guns, tropical diseases, the worst food, brushes with death. But I think this video is more representative of the experience of cycling around the world, and I'm sure it will prove more popular than my 'scary-stuff' one (to come)...
