Ushuaia, the most southerly city on earth, is known as ‘Fin del Mundo – End of the World’ and it’s where my Americas expedition will end. At the time of writing this blog there are just five days cycling left! I’ve been on the road for just shy of nine months, cycled about 13,000 miles and climbed the highest mountains in both North and South America – Denali and Aconcagua. It’s been an incredible journey for me, which I have loved, but which has tested me constantly and so I am now looking forwards to the finish – it will be amazing to see friends and family again after so long alone on the road. As always check bbc.co.uk/cyclingtheamericas for a main blog of this expedition and also the flickr, twitter and facebook links for the full story.

The BBC One documentaries of this expedition are due to be shown at 10.35pm on Monday the 15^th, 22^nd and 29^th March, which I will confirm closer to the time. The feedback from my production team has been excellent and everyone involved is looking forwards to a great series.

I am already looking forwards to my next journey – 38 towns on a UK wide talk tour. It will be the first time that I have taken my photography, films and stories on the road to explore my own fair isles, and should be a lot of fun!

Thanks to Speakers from the Edge for their organisation and to the sponsorship from Wild Fox Events, The Saltire Foundation and Koga Miyata bikes which allows this tour to happen.
