During the development and preparation of the route for setting up this epic ride, I have had my faith in humanity restored.
From complete strangers offering me free accommodation, a hot shower, meals and storage for my bicycle to technical assistance and route planning help.
Suggestions for equipment - what to take, and what definitely not to take. What to be careful of in various countries or areas, and their favorite places to travel that can be incorporated into my route.
The list of these most incredible people just keeps growing. You know who you are.
For my part, all I can say is a HUGE thank you.
