The Route

This is a preliminary plan for the route. This plan will be adjusted from time to time as camp sites (or wild camp sites) and special stops are identified. A final(ish) and more detailed plan will be developed and published as soon as I can.

Map for planned route – 2,600 kms of travel
Profile for planned route – 13,000+ m of climbing

For anyone planning to join the ride please check the Rules of Engagement page. Always remember that stuff happens on long rides – bad weather, adverse wind, mechanical failures, physical failures, etc. For that reason, if you plan to join up at a certain location please, please, please contact me to ensure that I am still following this plan.
