Peter Langford, from Suffolk, had already cycled the 1,100-mile (1,770km) route three times - aged 75, 80 and 85.
His month-long adventure has so far raised more than £33,000 for two homelessness charities.
"I look back and think 'how did I manage some of those hills?' he said, adding he would not attempt it at 95.
Hubby and I just got e-bikes. I love them! Now, I’m trying to figure out how to take them with our RV, so we can have them on our travels.
Embarrassed myself after shipping my bike to Arizona with fairly level ground for cycling.
Had not used it where it was due to steep grades, tourist drivers in rental cars, and age.
After reassembling (another story) the bike, I found I have gotten too stiff to get my leg over the seat.
Not ready to be that much of a geezer yet.
The tires on the trike my daughter gave me last Christmas all have a slow leak. No inner tubes. Is there anything I can do myself without taking the wheels off?
I rode to the office this morning. 19 miles.
It was 24F at 4:50 AM when I left. Clear skies and dry roads.
On the bottom I wore 2 pairs of long underwear and jeans.
On Top a wool base layer, a long sleeved cotton tee, Pearl Izumi fleece jacket, North Face down ski jacket, and Pearl Izumi Hi-Vis windbreaker.
For the hands I have some Bar-Mitts pogies and thin wool gloves. Pogies are a game changer for cold weather riding.
Under the helmet a fleece mask and a thin wool balaclava.
And on my feet new SPD cycling boots from 45NRTH. These boots wonderful for dryness and warmth. I am still skeptical of the BOA “laces” but they are simpler and faster than real laces, and I don’t have to worry about them getting caught in the chain.
The only problem I had was I wore too many layers. I stopped and took off the fleece jacket about 3 miles in. Could have done without the cotton shirt as well.
Was a really great ride with almost no car traffic to deal with.
Looking forward to my ride home. It should be a balmy 40F by then.
