Suffice to say that beautiful stock image is not what our packing looks like. There seems to be a million things to do before we leave from visas and vaccinations to cleaning and tidying to moving out to route planning to actually packing. Oh and the bike work - don't forget the bike work... Both of us have replaced almost every component, right down to the wheels, and we expect it will all wear out again before we get there 🙄.

In between all of this Emma was finishing her mountain biking holiday and I was cycling back from the UK. Getting the "training" in!

Mum summed up the plan succinctly, although I'd like to think the plan is a little more nuanced than that!

We're getting there, but the job list is still looking quite full

✅ Order gear and bike parts
✅ Get vaccines
✅ Cycle home
✅ Make blog
✅ Wax skis (yes this was supposed to be done months ago)
❌ Clean house
❌ Rebuild bike
❌ Pack
❌ Make route
❌Apply for visas

Undergoing the mandatory first aid course

Packing is happening!
