[p]On the 14th June 2018, Albert Thornton and Ben Boddington will depart from Boston MA and attempt to to cycle the width of America, spanning approximately 4,300 miles.[/p][p] [/p][p]We are looking to complete the route in 60 days averaging roughly 70 miles each day. For the duration of the trip, we will be unsupported, navigating with maps and carrying all of our equipment on the bikes. The route that we have chosen begins on the coast in Boston and takes us across 13 states along the northern passage, finishing on the coast in Seattle. The journey starts in New England and continues down to Buffalo, across the grasslands of the Great Lake states and through the mountains and Great Plains of the West. For those interested, we will keep you updated on our progress via our Facebook page ([url=https://www.facebook.com/AlbandBod/]https://www.facebook.com/AlbandBod/[/url]), Instagram ([url=https://www.instagram.com/albandbod/]https://www.instagram.com/albandbod/[/url]) and a Blog ([url=http://albandbodcoast2coast.wordpress.com/]albandbodcoast2coast.wordpress.com[/url]).[/p][p]In terms of the charity, we have decided to use the trip as an opportunity to raise money for ‘The Campaign Against Living Miserably’ (CALM). CALM is a mental health charity working specifically to tackle mental health concerns prevalent among men. They run a helpline operating 365 days-a-year as well as numerous events and awareness raising initiatives.
