Dreams...

Been playing around with the idea of cycling up north the Malaysia Peninsula, starting from Singapore..... when I quit my job in December. Currently, I am the only one there is, but have been checking with my friends as to who might be interested.

Likely locations will be Vietnam or even China; Hong Kong even, if I can make it so far. Need to do a lot more research into the topic before I can embark on it.

Things to consider:
  • Bike - will need to upgrade or get a new bike. Need to change the tires and get panniers, probably even get a new and lighter road frame without the suspension.
  • Bike maintenance - will need to learn more; much more, about the maintenance of bike and its parts....
  • Logistics - Safety Vehicle? Food? Camping equipment? Visas?
  • Safety - Political environment of countries travelling through, socio-economic factors etc....
