I could be persuaded....any details of your ideas yet?
hi suffolkcindy
it was a surprise to hear from you as i don't think their are to many people around with the time to take on a trip like this.
hard to know where to start realy,india is definitely on my places to visit i'd like to go to shimla which is on the pakistani/indian border the only place in india where it snows,i cycled from goa to the southern tip of india several years ago with my nephew,borneo and sumatra are there as is new zealand initialy thought about going through spain over to morocco and follow the coast along to the suez canal and into the arab emirates but don't know how safe that would be after the gadaffi situation,central and south america are there i cycled from caracus in venezuela to belem in brazil 5/6 years ago initialy went on my lonesome but was lucky enough to meet a couple of french lads on a tandem a couple of hours after i set off.
a trip like this is all about compromise so where is it that you'd like to go to and why? the why? is for my own interest as if you decide you don't wish to come along it would give me an idea for my own route,so i can get my map out and start a plan of action.
hope to hear from you again

I always thought people who did these trips were crazy until I did a LEJOG. Approaching JOG, I found myself getting slower and slower as I just didn't want the ride to end. One day ...

Hi I'd be interested in leaving for a round the world tour starting in about March/April 2013. I have few plans as to which countries to take in, but I would love to go through Greece and the Balkans and then round further East. I like to cover quite a few miles a day, 80 to 100 is a healthy speed in relatively flat countries. I have cycled round Europe, Chile, and lots of other places. I'm just saving up some money whilst working in Oman to then be able to take off do what I've always wanted to do. Anyway, there's loads of time plan and think about this.

80-100 miles a day doesn't sound like it would give you much time to chat with people?
