Six mostly middle aged guys (me, Ray, Tony, Lindsay, Brendan and David) on bikes for about 11 days with our guide Adam. Most of the others have ridden in Asia before and know what to expect. I have not so I am looking forward to new experiences with only a little trepidation about conditions (heat, humidity, hills, hygiene, hetc.)
I have done half a dozen 40-50 km rides in the last couple of months and am reasonably confident despite daily distances being longer than my ride in France in 2006. Hurting my back a week or so a go playing soccer was a minor set-back but does not seem to be affecting riding.
A little more shopping to do and packing before heading for airport in 48 hours from now. What will I forget to pack this trip?
