Hope we will find some possibilties to once a while update this blog during our trip!
Wish us luck and steadiness!!!

Equipment

Just a few notes on the equipment

- Just managed to connect my SonyEricsson W995 with this blog. So if I manage to organize a bulgarien and greek Prepaid data SIM it should not be the big deal to push some update here during the trip :-)

- As I mentioned earlier, I am talking my Bicycle - a KTM Mountainbike with me.
It is - as Peters Carbon-machine is as well - a hardtail. We both got Magura hydraulic disc brakes on.
Few weeks ago I also got my new Brooks Saddle. Have been told they are the one and only for a long distance mtb-trip. Last time I did choosed a ultralight gel-racing saddle from Selle.. well a very very big mistake - OUCH!!!

Our clothes, gadgets and tools will be stuffed to our rucksacks (hand luggage on the plane) - improved on the last trip - and it was quite comfortable.

Of course we are using GPS (Garmin). Mainly based on Google Earth and Google Maps.

to be continued...
