the bike from my sponsor arrived yesterday. turns out it is not a 29er, but a very sweet, titanium mtn bike. took it out for a test run on double and single track in our local hills. my initial reaction was very positive. there is also a unique style handlebar on it which is comfortable but does take some getting used to. i will take a photo of the bike and post it. i have less than a week to break it in and then repack it for the journey to and through cambodia

had a call today from peter who completed a sponsored challenge last summer in japan. he rode 1000 k and raised money for the poor. he wants to take 6 weeks next summer and ride across north america and is looking for suggestions for a good route.

any ideas?

it will be a charity challenge again and therefore needs a route that is interesting and challenging. Something more than vancouver to ny perhaps

cambodia

less than two weeks to go the cambodia bike challenge.
