Round the world ride coming to an end this weekend

Readers may remember a post from last month covering Geoff Thomas and his incredible bike ride around the world on a Triumph Tiger (pictured above).

Geoff and his riding buddy Alan arrived back in London last Thursday, and will officially end the journey at the Ace Cafe, London (map) this Sunday (16th) at 10.30am with a "big breakfast and a nap" - the more the merrier.

UKBike would like to congratulate Geoff and Alan for making it back in one piece, and we hope that they make their fundraising target of £5,000 for the St. Theresa's Hospice, Darlington - donations can be given at justgiving.com/geoffgthomas.

Riding around the world... on £20 a day

We have a few UK-based bike friends here at the blog, one of which is Geoff Thomas (a.k.a. Blue 88) who is continuing on his journey across the world riding a Triumph Tiger.

Geoff's latest port of call (at the time of writing) is Memphis, Tennessee, having already covered over 25,000 miles of riding since starting out in mainland Europe back in May, before heading to the Balkans, Turkey, across the Russian sub-continent, into South Korea and Thailand, before entering north west USA. It's an incredible journey all done on a shoestring budget, like McGregor and Boorman without the support team and film crew.

Geoff's travelogue always makes for great reading and is well worth a look. His target is to raise £5,000 for the St. Theresa's Hospice, Darlington, donations can be made through Geoff's blog.
