2017-06 - The List

After my initial panic, I started looking at all the things I needed to plan. The list was extensive and varied. Some of these things really need to be done well in advance, some can be done later. I will write about these as time goes on.

Just a Sample of the questions I have to answer:

• Which bike to use?
• Where to buy it? Here or at my destination?
• Do I use what I already have?
• How do I register it?
• Do I use a cheap one, or more capable expensive one?
• Do I get multiple bikes, buying and selling as I move along?
• Chain or shaft?
• Tube or tubeless?
• What modifications?
• Where to "live"? How to have a fixed legal address?
• Where Start?
• What route
• What seasons?
• Camp or Hotel?
• Carnet?
• Insurance?
• How do I get rid of stuff?
• Where to I store stuff that I don't get rid of?
• Computer or Tablet or Smart Phone?

The questions never stop. My list will be a mile long in no time. And these are questions for before I leave. What about as I am travelling? What about when I am "done" if that means anything.

I will keep you all informed as time goes on.
