"Thunder and Sunshine" is the final part of the remarkable expedition. Having pedalled through the Middle East and Africa and to Cape Town. He still had to cross to South America and ride upto Canada across Siberia and back through Europe to finish his journey. In many ways, this was only the beginning.
