Day two of blog...or T minus two weeks until liftoff for SE Asia. Just talked with my sister Samantha who says she will take me to Viet Nam via Bangkok all expenses paid... including flight! She wants a travel partner and I want to extend my trip for as long as possible...can't really pass that up and it will be good to see family again after a few months on the road. Also it'll be good to leave the bike behind in Thailand for a few weeks and rest my ass (yes, literally), not to mention allowing blood flow return to the bits that can go all numb and tingly. OK, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it but there you have it...numbnuts. No not you, the condition where prolonged pressure on the pudendal nerve causes one of the favorite parts of my anatomy to feel as if it went missing, along with all my luggage and left behind, sad and lonely at the unclaimed baggage area of some forgotten airport. Speaking of genitals...sorry for the bike porn photos but c'mon, it's Campagnolo man. And the bike...well let's just say it's love. R and E cycles in Seattle is an amazing bike shop hand building beautiful bicycles in the basement. And any shop that sponsors professional bike tourers instead of racers has my vote.
