I still intend to take off, even though my wife is staying home. She is not fond of me going for an indefinite tour. I have my camper half built, have ordered the ebike front hub, for my bike. Will do a fair few shake down trips, until I am sure everything works. I need to do this tour, for my sanity. Escaping society, is the main reason I am going. Taking my dog, he is with me on all my trips. Not that is any of you guys business, but I can't seem to get rid of an particular memory of what happen during a certain incident in my service( army). So need to leave society for a fair while. A bit of escapism, will be spending a lot of time just hunkered down deep in the bush. I also see age causing issues, as am 60, and every year it is harder to ride. Have done long trips before. Should have done this many years ago when one was fitter.
