Its official. I have started buying things for the tour.
On Thursday I ordered two sets of Panniers, the Altura Fusion 40 in red. Evans Cycles had a good deal on at £50 for the pair, so I decided to take advantage and order them there and then.
They arrived at my parents house on Saturday.
I have updated the equipment page in the ‘Planning’ section of the site, there is now a downloadable packing list for anyone planning their own tour.
Hey brother, what are your biking plans? I’m super interested.
Hey buddy, cheers for the comment.
Initially I’ll fly to Istanbul then bicycle East for a year or so, I think the route will take me through Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Iran to start with. After that, who knows! Its to far in advance to worry about a definite plan.
Hopefully the tour will start towards the end of the year. In the meantime, while I’m still saving the money, I’ll be reading your blog for some more random happenings from the road!
Cheers
Roy
