Cycling Around the World
>On the 1st July 2009 i, Russell Ware cycle an epic 40,000km around the world. Whilst doing so i will cross 30 different countries and 15 different languages. Temperatures will range from 40 degrees celicius in the taklaham desert to minus 30 in an alaskan winter.
The ride should take between 2 and 3 years, I will living on a budget of £3 a day. Which is plenty bearing in mind that a cheap hotel in China cost $2.5. I will be camping most the way to reduce costs, apart from the occasional hostel to wash.
This trip is not an endurance race, so i will be taking a day off from cycling every week to do touristy things. Although the karakorom highway is going to be very challanging, climbing higher than Mont Blanc.
Whilst cycling around i hope to raise £5,000 for charity. 100% of money will go directly to SOS Children's villages click here for more details. I will be funding the entire trip.
The money will be used to give orphans from all around the world a home. The charity currently supports over 1 million and adults through our inspirational SOS Children’s Villages, nurseries, schools, medical centres, community outreach projects and emergency relief programmes.
