Proud to say I managed to complete #ridelondon 100 on Sunday with full 45kg baby chariot + touring bike + all provisions set up. Tough up those hills! Met my daughter Anaaya to ride the finish together. Thanks to all sponsors, we raised £4k+ for @DSiupdate

Just over two days left until next year's dancing destiny is decided and I'd really appreciate help to figure out which it's best to go with. Please head to https://t.co/uVuzRXPPye to cast your vote! Thaaank you :)

@AMusicalScreen Not sure but will have a look, thanks :)

[Ben Hammond @planetprancer]

With Christmas over there's now just one big decision left for me to make for 2020: should I stick or twist with my dancing adventures? I'm running a people's prancing poll for what I should do next... please vote & comment at https://t.co/uVuzRXPPye THAAAANK YOU!

[Ben Hammond @planetprancer]

@AMusicalScreen Nice idea! :)

[Ben Hammond @planetprancer]

@SimplyCloudGrl Thank you! :) I am having to do the challenge bit by bit as my vacation time allows so for this year I'm done and will return at some point next summer. Not scheduled to go through Nebraska as I'm following Route 66 to Chicago but feel free to join me whenever I'm nearest! Ben

We often associate #slavery with faraway countries, but in fact it is happening right here in towns and cities across the UK. Learn more about slavery in the UK: https://t.co/k14po3GjXq

Yessss! After 5 weeks of trials and tribulations I finally made it to Gallup, New Mexico. 770 miles of the USA now proudly pranced in aid of @Anti_Slavery :)

[Ben Hammond @planetprancer]

@BethFTBrockett Yes will do...I am rubbish at Twitter! X

[Ben Hammond @planetprancer]

Blisters. That is all.

Basically having to dance with one arm while the other helps to haul Barbara the buggy to help relieve the forces going through my back. #theroadislong #route66 #danceamerica

[Ben Hammond @planetprancer]

Yeouch. Back on fire today...20 painful miles to go to get to #ashfork AZ. Bring it...quickly!

[Ben Hammond @planetprancer]

Made it to #Needles, CA! After a rest day today, tomorrow (Friday) I dance 25 miles to #Laughlin, NV. Looking for somewhere to stay so if anyone can offer me a room for the night I would be eternally grateful!

[Ben Hammond @planetprancer]

T-minus 17 hours until #danceamerica begins again and it's time to restock the buggy for the next 7 days' desert dancing. #vegetablesRNotUs #anyoneseenmyfiveaday

The usual crazy long queues in @LidlUK in Enfield Wash ...this time made way worse with just 2 out of 6 self checkouts working (& with no explanation). :( It's as if they don't know I gotta get out to train to dance across America!
