Work is over and it's time to go for a ride.

Well, my last day of work is Friday 22 February 2013 and it's time to get my act together for the next bicycle journey.

The next port of call will be Manila, Philippines.  I'll be meeting up with one of my good friends from the Cairo to Capetown 2011 cycle tour, Mr Len DeMoss.  Len and Colin started their tour on the 10 Jan this year and have ridden all over the Philippines, dodging trucks, buses, motorbikes, trikes and dogs.

After harassing Len with far too many emails we've decided to change our route and head for Cambodia.

We'll spend a couple of days in Manila and then catch a flight to Siem Reap and start our holiday.  Yeh, riding a bike and cooking your ass is a holiday to me.   The weather should be warm and humid, but at least we'll have a safer ride.

We intend to head up north and enter Thailand and then hopefully into Laos.  We should reach northern Thailand and then start the slow ride back to Cambodia for the flight back to Manila.  We'll have 2 months this trip, and we should have a blast.

The new bike is ready, my legs are ready.  So follow my story as one Aussie and a yank go on tour.
