Hello everyone,
I'm Rich. I've always been into bikes but only seriously on and off for a few months here and there. About a year ago, I was introduced to bikepacking by a friend who I used to MTB with and it stole my imagination.
1. I've never bikepacked. But I'm also not unfit.
2. I've not cycled much in the past year, only in the past 6 weeks.
3. I'm bored of everything and I'm in a good place to head off travelling again with no ties.
So... I've given myself until April to prepare and leave by then. It's a bit nuts I know but life's to be lived in my eyes and it's time for me to be the person in those gorgeous scenic photo's we all see, instead of being the reader!
Any advice you guys have, please fell free to hit me with it all as this is going to happen. I'm strongly drawn toward Asia. I'd backpack it otherwise but my bike is built, 70% of kit now owned and I love the idea of being my own transport too.
Looking forward to interacting and learning from you all all over the next few months! :-D
