also, here are some websites I like...that you may find interesting/useful.
www.irisentoreopreis.nl/ ~ A great website full of interesting details like the 'Off the map' and 'Recipes' sections.
http://www.tour.tk// ~ Another good website. I like the records of the books they've read, and the "tip of the month" and recommended links and country info.
bicycletouringpro.com/blog/ - Darren Alff is a prolific cycle tourist and blogger. There is some good information, ideas and debates on his site. The site has a professionalism its name suggests and he often takes an original slant on things. The audio interviews are particularly good.
www.mark-ju.net/ Terrific website with many quirky details.
www.bio-nica.info/Biblioteca/Vickers1999BicycleExpedition.PDF ~ A well written technical guide to organising bike expeditions.
petergostelow.com/?page_id=331 ~ After cycling back from Japan, and writing an wonderful journal with sensational photographs along the way, Peter Gostelow is now on his way across Africa (his new website is www.thebigafricacycle.com/). The old website has a comprehensive links page.
www.copenhagencyclechic.com/ ~ Beautiful Scandinavians riding bicycles.
http://www.crazyguyonabike.com// ~ A database of journals, forums, and articles - great content, great photos, very basic style (so works well on computers worldwide). I try to look at journals for specific locales and pick ones with the appropriate number of days to your tour (i.e. I looked for tours longer that 6 months or 180days).
http://www.adventure-cycling-guide.co.uk// ~ An excellent overview and encouragement. Prices on bikes getting a bit out of date.
www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/index.jspa - Helpful travel forum, use the On Yer Bike section.
