The First Blog...

This is the first blog of my very first blog. Please be kind and considerate. I will use this blog as a regular update on my USA and UK cycling challenges.

Please feel free to contact me via email (swinhoea@hotmail.com) or via the comments option at the bottom of each blog. There that seems very easy and straightforward so I guess I'll stop for now and get back in touch once I have something to report or I get bored.
