The Synapse Connections of a lifetime

Would you rather take a day flight home from California or would you spend months cycling home? Recently there was a thread in Recom about this guy who decided to put some interesting twist into his life by cycling home all the way from california and meeting new friends along the way. It would be obvious to say that this attempt is insanely challenging, dwarfing out le tour de langkawi dudes, haha! Anyway, he's keeping a log of his journey online and they can be accessed here.

Initially I thought this guy has lost his mind, but after looking through the first few days of his journey, I knew he was serious. He don't look like the average athlete but he certainly has the determination to do it. Back to his journey, he did things like sleeping by the road side or in some random bush holding a pepper spray on one hand and a knife on another. It must be quite scary to be alone in somewhere you're not familiar with.

His parents are gonna hold a briefing about his charity mission tomorrow. The guys that would benefit are:

St. George's Instituition's Developement Fund,
MAA-Medicare Kidney Charity Fund and
The Naational Cancer Society.
(Targeted donation - RM1 million

He gonna cycle for a total distance of 30000 km. That's like cycling from Penang to KL 300 times! It'll end with an event called the 'Bike for Malaysia Tour' where for 3 days youths will join his last push toward taiping, the finishing line. I would join him if i'm home AND i'm fit enough to cycle for 3 days but i'm not :P Haha! So anyone who can, do support him, I think this is a great effort that deserves more publicity than all the other gov-funded 'adventures' that we had so far.
