Limey is a MADMAN!

I reckon his route included as many water crossing as possible.
No water crossing had the wife with me.

There's video proof somewhere that it didn't stop ya before. (where'd I see that? It was classic)

Done...

I've been working on this for a couple of months now. Never made a video like this and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Decided to cut it down to bit size pieces. Not sure how many episodes I'll create out of the full 54 minute video, but here's the first one.

Episode 1

Thanks, I've made lots of videos in the past. Never done one that is fully narrated and makes use of graphics in the way I did this one. It's a lot more work, but I think it was worth the effort.

As always a great job..... I really enjoyed the 1st.

May have taken a while but worth the effort.

Thanks, Bob. Glad you approve. I burned a lot of hours making it. I'm pleased I've entertained more than just me.

I think I can wrap all this up in 2 more episodes. I'm just cutting the already completed full length video down into reasonable chunks and calling them "episodes." Almost done.

Just fantastic. How can you ever equal that?
Thanks, Bob.

It was an epic ride for us, and we're both very satisfied to have accomplished it, but neither one of us would list it as our favorite ride. We're not looking to equal it anytime soon. We are looking to beat it. ;D

I've been very fortunate to be able to travel and ride both plus many others, and I am also fortunate to know Jon & have met his wife. They've ridden much of North America and I think their tastes would take to renting out of the UK or Ireland and going from there.
