Starting out

There's about 204 sleeps to go before my bike and I take to the road. I'm leaving Paris on June 1st 2008 and expect to arrive in Istanbul 50 days later. It's about 4,000 kms in all.

I'm not sure if I'm right, but this seems like the best plan I've had for some time.

You see, this is no longer something I'm just talking about. This is commitment. Money has changed hands. Forms will be completed.

Who would have thought that picking up a postcard in Borsari's Bike Shop in Lygon St Carlton would lead to such an adventure.
