W knocked off the Coast to Coast ride! Took us nearly 2 years and a little over 22,000km but we rode from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Top photo is on the south east coast of Japan, bottom is on the west coast of France:

We're really coming to the end of this thing now - we've got a few weeks left, riding around Brittany to Normandy where we'll take the ferry across the Channel to the UK on 23rd June. Then finishing up for good in West Sussex on the 24th.

That is an incredible feat and congrats on the accomplishment! I'm sure it's been a unique ride, how's your butt haha?
 
Almost there. We are in Dieppe, Northern France this evening, our ferry to England is tomorrow and we'll cross the finish line on Saturday. Feels very sureal, like we might actually do it!

It's been beautiful for these last few hundred kilometres, lovely coastline and lots of sunshine. Of course, the forecast for Saturday in Sussex is rain, but who cares!? It's only weather.

Our latest blog post is online, at the usual place, pedallingwest.wordpress.com

Will post again once we've finished! (And recovered from the hangover!)
 
I saw on IG that you'd finished! Congratulations! What a fuckin' trip. Can't wait for your last update - I'm interested to hear your final thoughts and reflections from your journey. Also curious about what's next!
 
Well, we did it! What a ride. 23,333 kilometres over 622 days, across 20 countries.

We put together some video clips from the last couple of days on the road:

Thanks guys for commenting, really stoked to hear from people who are excited by what we've done. There'll be a few more final blog posts and summaries to come, so stay tuned!

Didn't follow much but the whole idea of the trip is insane, respect and congrats to you and everyone with you. Now get some sleep.
 
Thanks man.

It feels very strange to be back in the UK. There's a blog post covering the final two days now up on our Wordpress site.

Also, I'd noticed that so many of the photos on our blog were taken by me, looking towards Mrs MagSeven riding ahead. (There were over 1,200 similar photos!) I decided to put them all together into a kind of slideshow/timelapse. It's quite jumpy and a bit long, but I kinda like it. In just under 6 minutes it gives a pretty cool view of the ride:

Also, if you're in the US, I think we might be featured on the TV show 'Right This Minute' either on Monday or Tuesday, so check it out!
