I heard about this on the radio this morning. Looks like an awesome adventure, but somehow I don't think I'll ever talk my wife into doing it with me.

You just need to appeal to her sense of adventure. You know the one she had when she married you.

Wow. Even IT professionals have completed it!

Well, the dude I heard talking about it on the radio made it sound much more grueling than that. He was a member of the EFI group, (an acronym he could not expand on the radio) and to hear him tell it, several sections were a near death experience.
The way he described the road surfaces he rode on much of the way, I was thinking a Surly Pugsly would be the only suitable ride.

I think Suzanne would prefer something a bit more civilized. And I think I would too.

Cycling in the Sudan? Don't they know there's a civil war there?

I'm with tsl. Cycling in Austria and Germany were adventurous enough for me.

Exactly. But there were other challenges, such as non existent roads, roads made of lava rock where the road surface would shred tires. I might be a bit adventurous, but I don't think I'm up to that level any more.

Not to mention the occasional animal attacks while riding through their back yard. 11,600 plus kilometers ... that's one hell of a lot of riding.

I'd do it in a heartbeat.

But ... 120 days? Doesn't quite fit into my employer's vacation schedule
