I just came across this video of our homecoming on 15th May, it brings it all back!!
To whet your appetite for our talk in Great Outdoors tomorrow night, here’s an interview we did with Ray Darcy last week.

Below are the guidelines for a circumnavigation of the globe by bike set by Guinness. We’ve been sticking to them since Nov 08 and have ticked all off the list but one- the journey must start and finish at the same point. We’ll do this Tomorrow, why don’t you join us?
- Start and finish points must be the same location.
- The route must pass through two approximate antipodal points.
- The minimum distance ridden should be 28,970 km and the total distance traveled by the bicycle and rider should exceed an Equator’s length, i.e. more than 40,075 km.
- Cross the equator a minimum of two times.
- Cross all longitudes.
- The journey should be continuous and in one direction.
- Any considerable distance traveled opposite to the direction of the attempt must be discounted from any calculations of the overall distance traveled.
- A detailed photographic record of landmarks, boundary signs, etc., en route should be kept.

We’ve just received a couple of exciting deliveries which we’ll be raffling off during this Saturdays Homecoming Party.
Firstly, we have to say a big thank you to Damian from Freewheel who dropped down a tasty KTM Bazdard BMX, worth 350 euro!! Being a KTM, you’ll already know it’s top quality, our bikes have now done 30,000km and are still going strong. The bike comes with 20″ wheels with street tyres, a full set of pegs for doing grinds (or giving backers) and a giro for doing handlebar spins or tailwhips, if you feel inclined to do some crazy tricks that is.
We also have a 4 man Galaxy 400 tent, kindly donated by the excellent Great Outdoors outdoor store in Dublin. The tent has a porch and two separate rooms with enough headroom to stand in, perfect for a weekends camping with a few mates, check out the 3D walkthrough of the tent here.
To be in with a chance of winning one of these great prizes, you’ll have to be at our Homecoming Party, so come along and join in, all proceeds will go directly to AWARE.
