Welcome to the home of "Cycling to the Crossroads"

Welcome Home (to Hong Kong!)



After 126 days and riding 5158 miles in 85 days
Hong Kong finally arrived with a fabulous welcome from the Crossroads team!

Latest News - New journal update added.

I am Tim Smith and I have just graduated as a Master of Engineering from the University of Durham. I have been interested in cycling for a while but particularly over the last 4 years or so. The hills and cold of Durham have been my main learning ground which has set me in some good stead. Last year I completed a 500 mile cycle tour the length of Ireland and it was great but I felt I wanted more meat to get my teeth into!

This site is dedicated to sharing my experiences of a cycle tour that I will be completing in 2006. I will be cycling from the UK to Hong Kong in aid of Crossroads International with whom I will then be working for a short time. The site contains information about why and how I am carrying out this tour, useful information which I discovered whilst cycling and planning the trip, and information about the charity Crossroads International. There is also a journal which I will endeavour to keep up to date throughout my tour, internet access dependent.

If you would like to make a donation please visit the donations page where Aid International have kindly provided a secure on-line donation page and there are details of other methods. Thank you!
