Hi,
I'm from England and I'm arriving in Vancouver in May 2013. I'm planning on riding a bicycle along the west coast to LA or possibly Tijuana, Mexico. If all goes well I will take a hop over to Australia and continue the ride.
I have never done anything like this before so I expect the first week or two to be slow and tough going but hopefully I will get into the flow.
I will mainly be camping and cant wait to see everything along the way.
At the moment I'm doing the trip alone but I'm sure I will meet tons of people en route. Would like to find someone/some people likeminded who fancies tagging along.
I'm 31, male, reasonably fit but not ridden a bike seriously since I was about 10 but hey, why not.
Get in touch if this sounds like an adventure you would like to have too. I plan on making it a leisurely journey. It's not a race.
As I said, I'm completely new to the world of bikes and touring. My only concern is the doing it solo issue> For example what are you meant to do with all your gear when you pop into a shop or something? Do you just leave all your panniers on your Bike?
