The used bike I bought had a smaller frame than what I wanted.
So I bought a new frame and hopefully I can use all components from the old bike.
And moving all the components will also be a good experience for me to learn more about the bike.

New saddle
The Brooks saddle wasn't right for me, so now I have been using a Selle Royal SETA that feels a lot better.

The Website
The website is now up and running.
I haven't added that much content yet, because I'm in the planning stage and don't have that much interesting to put there. But as I come closer to departure, more and more content will be uploaded.

The Route
This is my first route planning in the rough.
I made this route only for people to get an idea of the route.
It has not been done in great detail, and I think I wont ever plan the route in detail.
The allure about being on your bicycle and taking it around the world is the uncertainty about it.
There are no guarantees and I will have to take every day as they come.

Website
I'm still working hard on the website. And since I'm not an expert on Dreamweaver it takes some time.
But I know the basics and I'm learning as I go. I decided to put up a provisional page instead of having just a blank page.

Welcome to my blog
In August next year I will be heading out on a adventure of a lifetime.
The goal is to cycle around the world, through five continents. The journey
will take approximately 3 to 4 years. Maybe it will take me 3 years or maybe
longer, but the purpose of the trip is not to be the fastest. It is to enjoy
myself and experience as much as I can.
When I first started to plan for this adventure it was not about the bicycle,
It was about experience other cultures and to meet people and to see how they
live there everyday life in countries you wouldn't normally visit on vacation.
During this expedition I will document my endeavours on my website in my
blog and with videos and photos.
Hopefully you would like to follow me on this journey through my blog and videos.
To live through my highs and lows and at the end see me finish this adventure
and complete my circumnavigation around the globe...
