Cool Touring Idea #433

Pick the Tour de France course from your birth year and then.. ride it!

I’m currently watching “Long Way Round”, an interesting doco about motorbike touring from London to New York, the uh, long way. It’s quite cool and is really making me want to pack up and head off to do something just as “epic” with my deadly treadly. At the moment though, it’s still a dead treadly. I get paid tomorrow.. wonder if I can afford the Pompino?

  1. Euan and I are watching Long Way Round at the moment – it’s so inspiring. I wanna pack up everything and see the world!

  2. Yeah, it’s a great series. Bit too many police escorts though and I still insist that cycling is the best way to do what they’re doing! 🙂

    I spotted the book for ?3 but spent money on pedal-power reading material instead.

    How funny was Pro Cycling’s front cover, loudly proclaiming "JAN versus IVAN, the battle that matters in July" or words to that effect. 😀

    Mal reckons she can get the DVD from her work (they distribute CDs & DVDs which is handy!).

  3. So, did you get a new bike?

    I went to Melbourne and was going to get a guitar, maybe a sleeping bag too. Got a speeding fine on the way down instead, only to get my pay on Wednesday and find that I had my yearly pay bonus in the bank! Woohoo! But that went straight on the credit card… Good boy…good boy…

    So… you still haven’t answered me!?

    To send soon – picutres of my set up at Apex Park.

    Long Way Round sounds interesting. Muy funuoso. Let’s do it. Canon have got some nice HDV camera’s out now. Buy me one and I’ll tape your next cycling journey. 🙂

  4. Yes. It’s mine.

    Speeding.. naughty boy.

    Yes, I have new wheels.

    Pay for my cycling journey and I’ll buy the HDV camera.
