The only issues I could see would be that central Asia section, It would be great to do a unbroken trip but honestly I do not fancy Pakistan, Tibet etc etc who knows..
The packing list is fairly straight forward, I have most of the kit ready but I will be substituting my Alpine research Bivy that I normally use for a decent lightweight 2 man tent. I will use a bar bag, rear panniers and that will be about it. I hate cycling with front panniers so I am doing everything I can to avoid that.
I think I will be doing one more trip prior maybe London to Copenhagen as a final shake down before I set a firm leaving date, it is kinda in the hands of the misses to be honest. I have 14 days free in July for something like that.
Indeed food will be a issue, I am more or less a veggie and I can see that being a problem, I will eat chicken if needed but no red meat and I know from people that have travelled in the central regions before that they had issues finding lean food. When I cycle long distances I need a ton of carbs so a endless supply of rice with sauces and bread would be perfect for me.
