Today’s ride on Komoot We had an early start at 7:30 and made our way out of Saraburi. It’s nice being the only tourists wandering around town, and we enjoyed our stay – partly because the hotel had a pool. But partly because people here are so helpful. Gee, the pool was nice … After …
Today’s ride on Komoot Well, the wait is finally over. My dream trip has begun. I’ve had just over a year off since the last big trip and I feel ready to get back into the bike packing lifestyle for the rest of this year (almost). Bangkok has been remarkably pleasant weather-wise. I’ve never been …
Day one – it’s finally here. Bangkok to Saraburi Read More »
I start my next big trip on Feb 5 and the plan is to ride from Bangkok to London. I’ll take a train through a large part of China and a flight over Azerbaijan but the rest will be aboard This Moment, my Koga Worldtraveller, which has undergone a few changes recently. I’m catching up …
This is a very simple piece of gear, but it holds one of my bags and is a key part of my setup. I’ve had the handlebar sling from Bike Bag Dude on my handlebars for every trip since November 2021. Thats more than 35,000 kms on all sorts of terrain over more than three …
This is my uncoolest piece of equipment, and I don’t care what any of you think or say (I’m looking at you Greg), it’s brilliant. Depending on the conditions, it can do different things. In South East Asia I’d put it on during some of the tropical downpours. I’d stay dry and also cool. A …
I have the saddlebag overnight from Ena Bags of Athens- and I use it on my handlebars (Jones Loop bars). In short, I’m very happy with the bag and very happy to support a guy like Yiannos of Ena Bags. During the European leg of my three year trip, I was looking to streamline my …
Today’s ride on Komoot Bruthen marks the end of the hills and the start of the plains through Gippsland. I’ve been taking it easy so far, with frequent rest days and expecting to take a train from somewhere in the region, through to Ballarat. The weather was expected to get worse, so I decided that …
Today’s ride on Komoot I had another short ride today and had all of that nice produce to consume first. Unfortunately, today was on the main road, but you’d never know. It was very quiet and beautiful beside the Tambo again. I really enjoyed it. It’s similar to the ride beside the Mita Mita. There …
Benambra to Omeo on Komoot Omeo to Ensay on Komoot To Omeo Gee my biker friends could talk. They talked and talked and talked. I wasn’t part of the conversation as I was in my hotel room wishing the walls were thicker. After a hard two days, I was really tired and slept in before …
Day 1 Today’s ride on Komoot This was always going to be the highlight of the trip – if all went well. The route from here, took me up almost to Dead Horse Gap (with obvious jokes), then into the Pilot Wilderness on the Cascade Trail and onto the Cowombat Trail for a night camping …
