Cycling from London to Shangahi

MickeyFinns · 25 Sep 2013 at 20:04

Starting on October 1st I'll be attempting to cycle across eurasia over a period of about 9-12 months. A lot of people here enjoyed Messiah Khans thread about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail so I thought I'd make a thread about my trip as well

.

Messiah Khan's thread

I've written about the plans for the route and the why's of this trip on my site here;

I'll add some more posts over the weekend as I start to do the final prep for the trip. Hope some of you enjoy following along!

I remember reading about that guy! Good on him, I like the idea of the bed in the back but the weight of that setup must be huge!
