Once in NYC Simon will re-join his Clipper Race team and sail across the Atlantic Ocean to Derry Londonderry Northern Ireland. In his final challenges he will cycle race the yachts from Northern Ireland to Holland then sail to London in a 36 hour sprint to the Clipper Race Finish at Tower Bridge on 30 July.On what has motivated him to take on this challenge Simon said: 'People may think I'm crazy for attempting this and maybe I am a little but the more I thought about it the more I saw it as an amazing opportunity for a unique travel challenge.
'The world is full of people who travel and compete in endurance challenges which seem to get harder and more epic all the time. I haven't heard of this particular challenge ever being attempted before though. I want to use my experience to examine the human psyche and attempt to learn more about what drives us to constantly extend our limits using myself as the subject.'
