Last night I received my third postcard from End to End after recording 105 miles of my trip along Route 66. I have copied the text in the email below so that my readers can follow the story of my trip. I have also linked this paragraph to the End to End website which I encourage everyone to look at. As I continue to chip away at my virtual journey along Route 66, I also wonder if I can count on your support and encouragement by sponsoring me. My JustGiving page is linked to at the bottom of this page.

100+ Miles In

The village of Odell marked your 100 milestone on this journey. 

It was named for one of its founders, William H. Odell. The surname is a place name: Odell (Bedfordshire), England, which combines the Old English word “wad” (woad a plant that provided a blue dye) and “hyll” (hill), so Odell was he who lived by the hill where the woad grows.

Odell is Site of the Historic Standard Oil Gas Station.

I will carry on cycling and see where I end up next. In the meantime you can sponsor me on my trek along Route 66 in aid of Ataxia UK by clicking here.
