Route 66-Virtually! A 2020 Vision Starting Tuesday, 1st September 2020, my aim is to cycle 2,448 miles (3.939 km), the original length (certified in 1926) of the famous US Highway Route 66, and to finish on (or before!) 30th September 2020. But I won't be touring across the US continent, instead I will be peddling around the 500 mile road network of Guernsey, Channel Islands.
The objective is to raise funds, which will be divided on a specific percentage basis, for three charities, the Macular Society (60%), a UK charity with an international reach, Mind Guernsey (30%), a local charity with UK affiliations and the Guernsey Botanical Trust (10%), a local community focused charity.
The fundraising for each of these charities has been impacted heavily this year and I'd like to raise as much as possible to help support the important work each of them do.
