Hey guys! No need to get heated!

My thoughts were with two weeks (We do have those weekends on either end, so 15/16 days) my original thoughts had been maybe the south west or Mexico. But when I was talking to my sig. she had the whole Asia thing in mind. Wasn’t phased by the 24 hours on a plane each way either.
I really don’t care where we bike, I just want two weeks where our “job” is to wake up, pack up, eat a thing, and get to the next dot on the map. So for me the rides the thing, and for her, she wants to see jungles and ruins.

I am ABSOLUTELY aware that this is a huge bite to take on, and will be stressful. But she wants an adventure. The difference between a vacation and an adventure is an adventure has a larger possibility of failure.

Its true we have not bike toured. But I have loads of hiking experience, and general “being outside all the time for a week or two” experience. We both have spent days in the saddle on occasion, and we are aware we are inexperienced.

So I figure starting easy with mileage for a few days, get used to the bike handling etc. Take some overnights before hand, long weekends before we go, we’ve got months to train... take some loaded mini camping trips.

Besides you know I’ll be posting about it, it’ll be way more entertaining to hear about how we had to backtrack 82 miles when a bridge was washed out than how we had a delicious Key Lime Pie at a lovely diner, right?

I’ll start looking at tickets, and the miles, and I’m going to edit the opening post to include the new information about south east Asia. But Cambodia is looking tempting. Maybe I can get a few days on one or the other end of the break to make it less crazy of a time line.
