Well it’s been two months now and I must admit it’s rather odd being back in the rat race! For a start I’m sitting in a proper chair, sleeping in a proper bed and eating decent food! Saying all that, we do miss the cycling (which we thought we’d never say!) and the travelling, not to mention the people we meet along the way and the rest of the experience of travelling by bike.
The recumbents are not exactly London friendly, so we’ve put them away safely and got ourselves some road bikes, Nic is racing around too fast, while Sedef is taking it more gently. We’ve already noticed our fitness is dropping, though the fact that we’ve enter some road races means we’ll have to get back on top form!
Slowly, we’re putting our notes together concerning the trip, collating all the diary entries (Blog and paperbased) and preparing for the book! Fitting this into the ‘normal’ life of work, eat, sleep is harder than we thought! But none-the-less a worthwhile one!
Sedef has also been busy putting together a collage of our photos, which at 20x20cm has a great collection of our experience. If you want a copy email us! It’s rather large so I don’t want to put a copy up here – well not yet anyway!
Nic’s bashed together a DVD with a scaled down version of our photos, down from 6000+ to just under 1000. Still, as a slideshow it takes ages – thank god for fast forward 🙂
We’re still eager to get the Canadian leg done, and also do more! The latest idea is to do a Pole to Pole round world trip via Bicycle, Sleigh and Walking – though this will take a lot more planning than cycling to Sydney – watch this space as they say!
Did you notice that mail2web is going to discontinue the free version of this service?
Sounds like you are having a lot of fun.
