hi, guys,
like you, greenhorn, i just got back from a 4,200 mile trip (four weeks in europe turning around in romania) and i can't get the idea of a rtw out of my head. i actually think i can pull it off from a work and money point of view - perhaps next year - perhaps 2006. but it's really on my agenda.
i'd be interested to hear from any of you guys about any detasils of planning that might eb helpful - budgets, routes, whether you're bothered about meeting the 'criteria' for rtw (all continents, etc) and how long you're planning to take.
i have road bike (trophy 900) which i love but i'm wondering if i'd need a bike a little more off-roady in nature for the rtw.
i'm thinking of going london (which is where i am) east through russia crossing over to alaska and travelling down to saouth america, crossing to africa and back north to europe - sound feasible?
be good to hear from you.
