Charley’s Adventures
Day 47-49 – The Convoy
It was eventually getting closer and one of my favourite parts of every trip. The bike convoy from Pt. Mugu to Venice Beach was getting nearer and as we...
Day 46 – Easy Rider in Ballarat
After we had found an appropriate place to camp last night, the team set up and I began to cook for them. It was a beautiful night as the...
Day 45 – Ballarat, CA
Austin, NV was a small quaint town. We decided to find something smaller. Where better than Ballarat, CA. We were so close to our final goal and the end...
Day 44 – Land sailing in Austin
Having travelled to Ely the night after the Salt Flats, I woke up in a very historic (for America) and vibrant small community. It was not quite what I...
Day 44 – Racing on the Salt Flats
In the morning, as I was coming to breakfast, I met Erin Hunter and Andy Sills. This couple were world record holding speed racers and were famous for racing...
Day 43 – Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City was not what I expected. Everyone had been telling me about the strict rules and the high influence of Mormon culture. There was a large Mormon...
Day 42 – Wyoming down the mines
We had travelled across the state of Wyoming to Rock Springs and Green River to see a working Mineral mine. I mean a massive working mineral mine. I have...
Day 41 – Rodeo in Wyoming
Our journey continued and took us more north up to the state of Wyoming, where we decided to pop in to the largest outdoor rodeo in Cheyenne. Have these...
Day 40 – Cliff camping
What a mental night. It was a long way to get up and we were nearly at 11,000 ft. At this point which made breathing difficult. I don’t want...
Day 39 – A look at my favourite toys…
We stayed in Denver last night. Around 2 hours away from our next adventure in Estes Park. I saw on the way one of the EagleRider shops and decided...
Day 38 – Balloon riding in New Mexico
Even though yesterday had been brutal, it was no rest for the wicked. We were up at 4am to travel in to the town of Taos to meet our...
Day 37 – On the way to New Mexico
It was a last minute decision but it seemed crazy to miss New Mexico when it was so close. We had a long 9 hour drive ahead but if...
16th July We arrived in Bandera, Texas at around 2pm and I was thrown right inside the world of a cowboy. Justin, the owner of the Twin Elm Ranch...
Day 31 – 33 Frogging in Louisiana
13th – 15th July Our time in New Orleans felt short and like most of the states we had already visited in the US, I know that I could...
Days 28 – 30 The Mississippi and New Orleans
10th July Waking up next to the great Mississippi was fantastic. Such a powerful river and I knew in the back of my mind that in about 24 hours...
Days 25 – 27 Caving in Georgia
7th July As we had been rained out the day before we were determined to find a place to canoe. Luckily for us the Dillard family owned a part...
4th July We were back on the bikes for another epic drive straight after the diving and so we arrived in Charlotte the night before. Waking up in Charlotte...
2nd July We had a 5 hour drive ahead of us down to Beaufort, NC. So in order to break up the day I thought it would be nice...
Day 16 – 19 – Boston and Kitty Hawk
The morning of the 29th we woke up in Boston. We had travelled on the seasonal train the CapeFlyer. This journey was turning more in to By Any Means!...
Day 14 – The storm hits
That storm hit us around 1am. I had not been able to grab even 3 hours sleep, as I still was not accustomed to sleeping on boats. I think...
Day 13 – Aboard the Tallship Alabama
After our relatively short trip from the day before I was finding my sea legs again. I think we all know that I have had some really bad experiences...
Day 12 – Fishing in Jaws country
For some reason we had travelled to the USA in a major heat-wave. Even in some parts of Alaska it had been reaching scorching temperatures and Marthas Vineyard was...
Day 11 – Alaska to Massachusetts
We eventually landed on mainland USA, after a 10 hour flight, and it felt good knowing that I was close to getting the new RGS1200 between my legs. I...
Day 10 – Alaska biking
Stumbling around on a Glacier in the morning is something few people (comparatively) can say they have ever done and I am proud to say I was one of...
Day 9 – Alaska igloo building
7am – we were already up and ready to pack the rest of the gear and go through a few more safety procedures. Our plane was booked for 12...
Day 6-8 – Alaska training
Onwards and upwards to Alaska! Our rest day in Hawaii gave us time to repack our gear before heading on to our next adventure. Unfortunately the over night flight...
Day 3-5 – Hawaii diving
In order to really experience Oahu we drove from the very popular Honolulu to the east and North of the Island. This presented the team with different challenges as...
Day 2 – Hawaii boat race
Waking up on the glass desert of the Lava Field was an incredible experience. As you can maybe see here I had caught the sun slightly from the day...
Day 1 – Hawaii lava
Being one of the most powerful countries in the world, the USA has always been a dream of mine to ride round. I have travelled through some of the...
American Adventure
Joining forces with Discover America, Channel 5 and BMW, Charley and Russ will travel around the USA searching for more danger and excitement than ever before. Using the natural...
