Newbie Alert!
Hey,
I'm a complete beginner to all this bike stuff, though I am a seasoned traveller, but just wanted to introduce myself before I start asking all those newbie questions! Thinking of overland to and across Russia on a small budget through bits of Northern Europe (wish a ferry existed between the UK and Finland!), route tbc, or overland to Bulgaria on a 125 yet to be bought. I speak Russian so language shouldn't be a problem, but the logistics if travelling with a bike are all new to me...can see customs issues, missing papers, etc all cropping up - I'm not at all organised or great at planning yet! I'll post in the relevant forums for travel buddies etc - at the mo it's just me  Cheers, Pixie.x

Hi Pixie,
Aaah... early stage planning! Gotta love it! (Late stage planning sucks IMHO! That's where it all gets boring and expensive!) Keeps your options open and see how your trip develops. Both options sound cool. Welcome.  Matt

You're in the right place! I get as excited about planning as I do about going (well, nearly anyway). It's the potential - anything could happen!  Welcome and ask away . . . . . Patrick46 likes this.

Solo Arctic ride
Maybe naive of me but , my planning only takes in the first three days. After that I plan on a daily basis. luckily I have no time restrictions, and even though I have 17 countries on my itinary, I like to let the journey unfold itself. I leave May 8th riding for breast cancer. See www.solobiketour4cancer.com Good luck pixie with your trip Jules
