Hot on the heels of my round Australia duology - Brisbane to Broome and Broome to Brisbane, I have embarked on the big one - round the world.

Two years of planning including countless hours gleaning information from HU, I head off on my adventure. My trusty 2006 1200GSA - Ziggy, who (who?) taught me a thing or two about riding on the Australia trip, is primed and ready.

I flew Ziggy from Brisbane to LA where I'll be making my way across Arizona and New Mexico to visit some friends in Austin Texas. From there I'll head into Mexico where I'll spend two months before catching the Stahlratte to Cuba for three weeks. On my return to Mexico, there is nothing else organised, but the plan is to visit all Central American countries, head east across the top of Sth America through the Guyanas, down the coast of Brazil to Rio, then figure out the rest from there.

I plan to fly from Buenos Aires to Cape Town where I'll work out the route through Africa. Once in Europe, well I have to get home of course, so if I'm not sick of it yet, I'll be riding. But can I stop once I get back to Australia? I'm getting ahead of myself!

I have a blog (see the signature) where I'll be doing a longer version of the writing of the journey, and a Facebook page where I'll be posting stuff as well. I'll be posting photos here.

Follow me on my journey and make comments along the way. It makes a difference to know people are following.
