Both men had experience of cycling in Africa and across the world, but had never cycled this far.<\/p>\n
Hutchinson, who grew up in Uganda and now lives in Framlingham, said he had always dreamed about cycling across Uganda, but wanted to do a “bigger journey”.<\/p>\n
He presented his idea to Wheeler in the pub, and he immediately agreed.<\/p>\n
For Wheeler, who lives in Kenton near Framlingham, it was an opportunity to honour his brother, Ali, who died 12 years ago at the age of 24 from a rare sarcoma.<\/p>\n
It also allowed him to give back to the hospice and its “superhuman” staff who had looked after Ali in his final days.<\/p>\n
When starting out, they had only planned their flight and the first few days of cycling.<\/p>\n
Hutchinson said “beyond that, we didn’t really have a plan” and “just made sure we had bicycles”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Both men had experience of cycling in Africa and across the world, but had never cycled this far.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":581323,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-581322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-cycling","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=581322"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581322\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/581323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=581322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=581322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=581322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
