Welcome to goinganextramile

Hey, my first ever blog, never too late to learn.
And the reason? A huge personal ambition about to be fulfilled. In the Spring of 2011, I'll be taking my bike to Deadhorse, Alaska to begin a 29,000 mile circumnavigation of the coastlines of North and South America. It will take me 3 years, and I'll be using the trip to raise money for Global Vision International Charitable Trust and to raise awareness of the need for marine conservation to be taken more seriously by us all. It's taken me 9 months just to get to the point where I've registered a domain name, opened a justgiving web page, begun writing a blog, stopped dreaming and started planning. Now I've got to go away and actually devise some content to put on the web-site. But if anybody is reading this and would like to visit: www.justgiving.com/goinganextramile then they'll quickly get the idea.The planning list is getting longer and longer but at least I've got plenty of time, no money, but plenty of time.
