| Hi All: Well, as many of you know, and some of you are about to find
out . . .
I'm finally off on my big round the world bike trip. I didn't quite make the targeted
July 1, 2001 exit date . . . but, hey, what's 30 days when you've got 40,000 miles to do .
. .
If you wish periodic updates . . .please respond to JeffAGoGo@hotmail.com, in that way, I can
automatically enter your preferred e-mail address in my Hotmail address book which is
pretty much accessible around the world at any cyber cafe . . .
The Web Site is in it's infancy . . . I will experiment with sporadic e-mail updates at
first, then as I get more missives and PHOTOS I will start posting them on the site and
give you all a URL.
In the interim, the first stage looks as follows: August 5'ish to September 10'ish,
Northern California and maybe Oregon for a test run of the gear, packing, racks/panniers,
and BOB Yak trailer, along with ensuring I've not packed too much/too little.
Following that, I have met an English Lass who will accompany me on a San Fran to Baja
Mexico run beginning October 8. From there, she flies back to her boyfriend in England,
and I continue to Mainland Mexico with winter in Central/South America . . .
At least that's the plan for now.
Wish me luck, send me good thoughts and forward any addresses of people with soft beds
and warm showers who can put up a sweaty and dirty world traveler . . . best, Jeffrey |
