My travel calendars will be updated regularly as ideas take shape. There are two calendars. The rough long-term idea is to give people the chance to provide input into my travels, and potentially give people a far enough look ahead that we can plan to meet somewhere. The rough calendar was built based on a number of pieces of information including but not limited to: tourist visa duration, rough mileage to cover, and seasonal weather. Dates and places in yellow font are hard dates as travel tickets have been purchased. Everything in between is open for exploration. While the trip is conceived as a cycle touring adventure, I am open to spending time off the bike. For example, when in Nepal I plan to spend most of the visa’s duration doing the Annapurna Trek. Don’t feel like you must ride a bike to meet up with me.

The short-term calendar is to provide more detailed information on the plans for the coming days to weeks, but can change on a whim. For instance, if I happen to hear that a famous climb is snow free and only a day or two ride away… I just might not be able to hold myself back. 🙂
Please feel free to provide ideas and input regarding the short or long-term plans. This adventure is shared with all who participate via physical travel or intellectual contributions.
