Snap!
I knew the HUUK meet would be a disaster for me. Only 12 weeks with a bike (to make my commute to my ‘savings’ place every day that little bit more enjoyable), and just 12 months back from a 12 months trip (non-bike), my feet were itchy enough anyway. Not long in my job (took me a while to admit I had to go back to the field I used to work in to get some cash!) and it’s not enjoyable. Now I’m starting to think about which bike I’d like to do it on, how quickly I could get cash together while still having fun here, and ‘just be happening’ to watch the HU dvd when my girlfriend comes in….
The thing I failed to pick up on was how much people usually left with on a trip – e.g. the costs. I know you can do it as ‘cheaply’ or as expensively as possible but I lorded it up on my 12 months so would like to have the cash behind me before I did it again so I wasn’t forced to work in some unenjoyable job abroad to afford the next leg / some diving / etc. At least I get paid half decent for being frustrated here…..it’s just not an ideal solution ;->
Doesn’t help with a guy I rode down with away to embark on a trip later in the year, and a local HU community member prepping a bike for a trip even sooner!
Enjoy the ‘planning’!
