Leaving July 29, 2010. 12,000km over 17 days.
« on: July 17, 2010, 04:57:51 AM »
Camping for 3 nights, then hotel for 1. Should keep costs down (and the rank odour to a minimum :P). I'll post pictures when I get back. I love reading ride reports so enjoy being able to post my own.

(following routes are general and I have yet to do an extremely detailed highway-by-highway route plan). For the most part I plan on just following my nose half the time.

The way there:
