I knew that commute on Friday was worth it.

Give me a few weeks and I'll start pulling my weight. Will 6000 miles across Canada be enough?

Wow, what a great trip that will be Helen.. which way you travelling? east to west or t'other way?

East to west. I want to go down the Pacific Coast afterwards so it made sense to start in the east, although I've heard a few reports that I'll get more headwinds going that way.

 

[ianrauk]

I have driven the Pacific coast road.
It's soooo beautiful.. here you go..

As Ian has said that will be one very special trip for you. I hope you'll be able to send us some updates from time to time when you finally get underway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had also noticed that Ian, but I decided not to make a post about it in case it gave the BV riders an extra incentive to pick up the miles again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm planning to keep a journal on Crazyguyonabike and will put a link in my signature. Just haven't got round to setting it up yet.

Nah, they'll be wimping out now that their night time temperatures are threatening to drop into single figures....

Aussies' muscles sieze up below 15 degrees!

Just wait 'til the holiday periods - that's when the miles went up on cyclogs.

Madcyclist. How long you in Asia for? Tell us more...

Hi Ian,

I've arranged a career break of 7 months from work leaving on the 25th June returning just after the new year. A rough outline of the route as follows but if the political situation in Thailand doesn't ease I may be forced into changing it, possibly reversing the route, flying back from Cambodia and foregoing Thailand completely.

• Dehli - India
• Manali - Leh Highway, India
• Fly from Leh to Bangkok, Thailand
• Head North to Chiang Mai and Rai
• Cross border into Laos
• Loop around the Northern mountains, Laos
• Follow the Mekong river to Cambodia border
• Pootle around Cambodia taking in the Angkor Watt temples at Siam Repp, Cambodia
• Cross border into Vietnam
• Head north predominantly along the coastal roads, taking in some excursions into the more mountainous areas, Vietnam
• Return flight to UK from Hanoi

Regards,

Tony

What a fantastic trip Tony. Please make sure you try to keep us peeps updated with your progress. I am so envious.

Thanks to Wiggle delivering the wrong colour rear panniers then not replacing them in time for the weekend i had to postpone the shakedown tour. Just aswell really as the Cotswold's had 50% of their average monthly rainfall in just 24 hrs.

Enjoyed the weekend's cycling all the same, 70 miles on the Thorn on Saturday with colleagues from work who are training for a charity ride in July, a quick 53 mile spin on the fixed Sunday afternoon and a 62 mile ride today, one of my favourite rides to Henly including just over 2500ft of climbing. The Brooks saddle is breaking in nicely now. !!

 

[HelenD123]

I've finally managed to add a few miles this weekend. We're definitely catching them!
