mount your bikes

Well, it's tomorrow already, and I'm still awake doing stuff. The nerves having been building over the last few days and the packing has been somewhat of a nightmarish activity, especially when I found out that the weight limit for surface mail to South Africa had gone from 30kg to 10kg! I had to repack everything. Oh, it's not really stressful, I'm just too crazy to notice the stress at the moment, or the fact that I'm awake at this hour.
My good friend Steve Munoz will be helping me keep this up to date while my legs a whirring away on the bike for the next six weeks. Thanks Steve!
Right. I'm off...with about 40kg of gear bike and trailer. Hmm, nothing to declare, nothing to check in que, is it?

countdown

Nine more days before I head to the start line. Feelings? Excitement and nerves. Mostly excitement though. Wakkanai...
