I like this idea...

hovers over keyboard

Sounds amazing, here's to planning the whole thing that's a mammoth task in it's self

My plans change pretty regularly. I was thinking of leaving London the end of summer 2012 to walk the camino de santiago in Spain then I wanted to spend a month cycling about Japan. HOWEVER given how the last few years have panned out, I'll still be here in 4 years time so I shall this thread somewhere better than the back of my mind. If I'm back in oz (probs Brisbane) mi casa es tu casa.

Will there be spoke cards?

Of course!... one for every country passed through. Also, badges for the panniers, flag tattoos and maybe some orphans.

Oh, and snowglobes

Hrm that will be quite a few. Hipster Disk Wheel!

This just crossed my mind, quite randomly.

Been keeping tabs on this and by my reckoning I'll be in Oz in 2014, nearing the end of my visa. Would love to join you for part of this...China Nepal India definitely gets my giblets tingling.

I'd spend a fair bit of time on this site doing research - lots of info by country

Not much of a list so far eh Sam ; )

No list ∴ No bedwetting

Great link, Gus.

I will be back in Oz by that time, would love to hook up and assist with accomidation etc, in Newcastle north of Sydney

My girlfriend says that the key is to focus on the elbow.

Lies. You have to look your high five-ee in the eyes and it works every time.

No it's true. Focus on the elbow and it works every time. the elbow is the key!!!!!!

awesome trip idea. I might be up for some, but that's too far in advance for me to plan a the moment.

So you did this after the DD? Impressed ;)

I recently bought a book about Kazakhstan; it reminded me of this thread. Now I see that braker has re-routed...through Iran.

lol. ^Nothing wrong with Iran, I've got a friend whose family are from there and she visits quite often.

Braker if I came on this ride, what time should I expect to get home?

Has this been resolved yet?

OP updated.

This is once in a lifetime, so i'm going to do it properly :)

I've tried to be quite careful about timings so the mountain passes will be open, and should miss the wet seasons in Africa, Central America, India, and the majority of SE Asia.

Has this been resolved yet?

Go big and go home, right?
