Reading your reports and viewing the photos is not only entertaining, but immeasurable help in preparing for my own cycle tours. It's also fun to recognize some of the places you have seen on your tours as places I have cycle-toured as well. You have really worked hard to be of service to the rest of us. Now I feel guilty for being html illiterate...

Dear Mark en Juliette,
A few weeks ago we finished our bicycle tour in West Sichuan, what a nice cycling route!
The very detailed and accurate information on your website was our guidebook!
Thank you very much!! The only thing we - happily - missed were the loose dogs....
We never saw them, probably it rained too much that day.... ;)
Anyway we are now cycling in Tibet, so there will be enough loose dogs.....
Greetings from the roof of the world!

Has it really been almost two and a half years? Just read

along your way. Im embarking onto my 3rd year at university
now with the real world growing ever nearer. At the moment Im
working as a credit controller for the home office in a bid
fund this last year! Strange how time passes us by. And, yes; some say
I have matured into a likeable young man! Such an amazing achievement, 24,000 Km

Northumberland. And you invited us spontaneousley to stay
in your house on our last night, before our journey back to

Hello. there.
I've been knowing this website from turkey.
Me and my wife, we came to england from south korea by bicycle for 22 months.
But Not all the way by bicycle.
I could know this site, when we tried to find some inform about eastern europe.
and i was very impressived from you site.
Now we are in London.
I got a job here, and my wife try to be a nurse.
We've been staying here 8 months already.
Most of our website contents were written by korean.
Now i started translate my website to english.
So slow and slow.
We'll translate our travel history one by one.
Even you don't know that we could get big courages from your site
when we traveled in bulgaria.
thank you for your information.
Because of my english is not good too enough to express our thanks.
We hope to chance to see your on the road by chance.
From Kuk and Young. (Koreans)

Mark & Juliette,
Great. You made it and I hear you are now back in UK.
The night before you set off from Liverpool we had a bash in our barn. How about a welcome home bash. Let's invite all those who were here for you bash in 2002 together with any others who might be interested.
A few suggested dates: June 3 or 4, May 27, 28 29 or even 30 (albeit your Morris side dancing that day but it is bank holiday and maybe bash starting late afteroon).
Perhaps you can ponder above dates and see if any excite you. I'm told you are living in Newcastle but guess you must be on Merseyside reasonably often still.
Come on I fancy a rave.....
Mike.

I would like to congratulate you on the most marvellous and

that you could have added or how you might have made your
web page better.
Unfortunately I have only recently discovered it and did not
get to follow your journey as you were going.
I can bet your employer would have been sorry to see you go
if your web page is anything to go by.
Well done.

from UB going west to as much as we can, it really helps to
know the fuel situation in the country.
Any tips/suggestions you might have other than the ones

This is so far the best cycle info website I have ever seen, very well done! You're thoughtful and considerate, I have downloaded the zip of your website and converted into the Palm portable document format (IsiloDoc) so I can read it wherever I go. I don't think I'll cycle to all countries listed, but definitely it's a great guide. So far as I know, your website is much better than the LP Cycling guides!!! Anything else that I can say? Xie xie!

Well done Mark and Ju. You must have passed through Sydney when I blinked. I was keeping an eye out from my office which overlooks the harbour, but managed to miss you :)
How about a round up on the gear you used? You've covered breakages and failures a bit already, but what are your thoughts now that you've finished the trip? What would you do differently?
Good luck adjusting to "real life" again!

Thank you for taking the time to talk to us and show us your

and intend to visit it again. I have been lucky to have cycled
the lenght and breadth of England, Scotland and Wales many years
ago. Also to have ridden solo across Australia, Perth to Taree.
Your travels rekindle the yearnings to peddal again despite the
aches and pains of being an ageing grey haired cyclist. Good
luck in your future endeavours, Happy Cycling and continued
outdoor adventures, best wishes Joan and David.

helping to keep the travel bugs biting for Joanne and I as

Like our own ride around Australia, yours came to an end and
I'll bet in some ways you are glad, and missing it already in
others.
Anyway, congratulations and thank you for a great website, it

Mark & Ju-
Kind of an anti-climatic ending to such a long & grand
journey, no?
Having been an ardent fan of your travels and
website, checking in nearly everyday for the last year and a
half or so it seems that you both somehow grew tired of
leaving detailed-both in photos & writings-pages on whatever
new place you two were currently cycling through.
Example- Greece, which is a rather small country has much
more indepth coverage than pretty much your final 3
countries (including Oz).
I can only hope you'll have some additional pages wrapping
things up more indepth... like your thoughts on the gear
you used, people & places, lessons learned and perhaps,
additional photos?
Call it "Vicarious Living Through Others and Their Adventures"
BUT personally I wanted (want) more and honestly thought for
such a "once in a lifetime", grand tour on cycles your final
kilometers would have been more 'involved' than, "We flew,
we ate, we rode a little... we're done, thanks everyone.
Bye" (I'm paraphrasing of course but it was rather minimal
and final for an ending to such an epic trip).
Just all seemed so sudden.

Hey Juliet,
I don't know if you'll remember me, but I was in one of your
A-Level biology classes in Widnes Sixth Form before you left.
I just wanted to drop you a line to say hi. I have been
following your trip with mix of admiration and jealousy!
To read about your adventures has been fantastic. I'm so
envious of all that you've seen, all the people you've met,
and all the fun you've had. Reading has been a fantastic
escape from my studies (I ended up on a biology degree by the
way!), and an inspiration to me to get off my arse and see more
of the world myself!
I hope the final legs of your journey go well, and me and my
envy will continue to follow your progress.
Take care, and travel safely,

i met a wonderful italian on a motorbike in kazakstan, the next day we met two polish lads cycling to mongolia
and we all travelled together for a week or so, as a result
of the cycle inspiration andrea did a straight swap of his motorbike for a mountain bike in bishkek

Dear Mark & Juliette
I was born in Liverpool and worked as a teacher before coming to live in Sydney so could relate to the specific catalysts to your trip. Why don’t more teachers of horrible GCSE classes decide to cycle round the world to Australia?

Hi Juliet and Mark,
It's Mike from the 4Cs in Cambridge. I've been reading your
pages from time to time and really enjoying them. Great
pictures and a well organised site full of information.
Glad to see that things are going so well and that you're
having some great experiences. I'm very envious.
Regarding caving, I've finally been encouraged to take up
SRT and am thoroughly enjoying it.
All the best,
Mike

Stumbled across your site today and quickly spent an hour nosing around it. I have not done any long self-suported tours yet, but that will happen in the near future. I will be reading all of the diary entries. I love the fact that you keep things up to date. What are your plans for touring in Australia? If you happen to start touring in the U.S. (after this tour), stop by to see me. I live at the beach in Southern California, about 300 meters from Pacific Coast Highway. Ju's entries are very interesting as well. The Italian road building with polystyrene must have some sort of back story. I can't figure that one out! Good luck. I'm very envious.

If you are still in Thailand you might let me know where exactly for you might be able to visit my mother in law, sisters in law, brothers in law and all of Beny's family who live in the town of Uthai Thani which is where I met Beny in Nov 2002, on my way to Oz. I never made it, getting married instead.

Hi, guys!
The mystery fruit Gavin Jowitt said is a Choko, we call Xuxú (shushu) in Brazil. It grows wild in our backyards, anywhere. Here in the US I've seen it in supermarkets as Chayote.
There are many possibilities. It can be made into a mock-mashed potatoes (just kinda watery, so compensate with heat until it dries a little). You can cook it in water (always take off the seed), peel it, cut in tinny pieces (smashing with a fork is fine too), mix with eggs (beat them 1st), salt and pepper, and cook as an omelette or scrambled eggs (my Mom used to make it back in Brazil). You can simply cook it in water (like potatoes), peel it while still warm, and slice it; than I sprinkle with salt and pepper, add some Extra vergine olive oil, and serve as a salad, yummy!
One national dish from Brazil mixes chayote and shrimps (MMMMMMMM!), in a stew (with tomatoes, onions, garlic, etc). Delicious! We call it "Ensopado de Camarão com Xuxú" --Chayote and Shrimp Stew.
Hope it was helpful. All the best and God bless.

Hi there travellers
Found your page when Googling for medlar recipes - not an easy fruit to find a use for. I'm leaving this message because you wanted to know how to cook chokos. We peel, core and quarter them, then put them with the potatoes and pumpkin around a roast of meat, and oven roast them. They roast up well. If boiling them, they are as tasteless as marrow and require a cheese sauce to be palatable.
When you get to New Zealand, drop me an email and come and visit!

I've been 'following' you for a while now and thought it

fascinated about how you get on in these 'closed' places
with a lack of language. I guess that you have each
other to talk to.
Well the cycling TT season is really getting under way back
here in Blighty and the weather is warming up. I suppose I
can now only dream of emulating such an achievement while I
sit here in the office. The longest I've ever done was 37
days around Ireland.
All the best and why not carry on around New Zealnd (my
birth place)after Oz.

Hi, I found your site via a rather convoluted way (a discussion on
uk.rec.cycling about a new hypercracker-equivalent, led to a search about
original hypercrackers, which in turn led to a search of other
alternative hypercrackers.... get the idea?)
Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know that I found your site fascinating
and I've learned a couple of tips too. I am seriously considering cycling
the British coast road. Due to finances and not being able to survive
without a job for more than about 5 months, I'll probably not complete it
in one go.
I love the idea of carrying an electric hook-up lead. I would *never* have
thought of that one! My gadgetry probably doesn't use as much power as
yours (Psion series 5 linked via IR to a motorola phone for net access)
but even so, it's useful to have mains power on tap. The Psion is also
compatible with the compact flash cards used by my (old) camera. I need to
buy a XD-CF adaptor for my new camera.
Anyway, enough of this waffle. I've never cycle-camped for more than 2
weeks at a time, so I'm sure I'll be dipping into your information quite
frequently. I may even load the plain text onto my psion if you don't
mind!
Cheers, Rich x
ps It seems we are both musical too!

I was searching for Reptiles on the web and came across your site
with its excellent photographs. I do have a few comments about the
identification of the specimens that you have shown.
The photograph that you have labelled as Couleuvre de Montpellier is a sub
adult Aesculapian Snake Elaphe longissima with the juvenile colour pattern
just still visible. It does not have the head shape of the Malpolon with the
ridges above the eyes.
The snake found in Tuscany looks like an immature Western Whip Snake Coluber
viridiflavus which has none of the adult colouration yet.
The Lizard found in Corfu is the Snake Eyed Skink Ablepharus kitaibellii
which has been recorded only in a few places on the island. I would be
interested in knowing exactly where you found it in case it is a new
locality.
The Lizard found in Bulgaria looks like Lacerta trilineata the Balkan Green
Lizard.

Your mum sent a card encouraging us to have a look at your website and it's absolutely marvellous! Good for you, keep the wheels turning, and when you get as far as Canada (?) you MUST come and stay for a while with us in Ottawa en route.
By the way, I'm sure George would also like to hear from you when you reach Sydney as he and Maryam are renting a nice house in Marsfield (near the Maquarrie University) and I'm sure would be glad to put you up as well and would appreciate the narration of your adventures.
George's email address is -- this also applies when he's doing a stint at the Parkes radio telescope the other side of the Blue Mts.
Happy Christmas, good luck and love from us both.

Mark and Ju, I tried sending you an email but it keeps
getting returned to me so I assume it has something to do
with how you've set up your email address off your website.
I will cut and paste the text of that email here and if you
would be so kind... could you respond to us via our Yahoo
email address? It's the only address we have.
istanbul_tea@yahoo.com
Thank You.
Here is the email I attempted to send you both...
My wife and me have been avidly following your progress via your
website for a couple months now.

First let me say, the site is just wonderful-informative, funny,
beautiful pics, insightful, etc... we check in at least 3 times per week
always looking for an update! If there is no new update we still seem to
stay and re-read things and just admire the pictures endlessly!!

We came across your site originally because we are knee-deep in the
planning phases of our own tour. We are planning to go out with our 4
year old daughter and see the world-hopefully giving all 3 of us a
fantastic trip with wonderful experiences... we will be homeschooling our
litle girl while touring. We are planning on touring for at least 5 years
continuously.

With regard to equipment I have some specific questions if I may ask?

1. How are the Thorns holding up? I have spoken to Robin Thorn over
the phone just last week about him building us a Nomad for my wife and
an eXp for me(possibly 2 eXp's if we can afford it). I am quite a large
fellow(due to 4 years of staying at home with our daughter before she
started pre-school just this year)and have packed on the pounds so
besides needing a bike that can handle quite a bit of weight with loaded
panniers and pulling a trailer, I need a bike that can support my current
weight. I am most curious as to how your eXp is doing... I understand
that while you are quite thin in build you're much taller than me and
are carrying gear that is similar in weight to what I will be carrying.
Have you had any flex or shimmy since commenting on your Nomad to eXp
swap earlier on your website? How is it handling with excess water
being carried? How are the components holding up?

2. Is there anything at this point in your tour that you or Ju would
change about your bikes besides what you've already mentioned on your
website with regard to swapping out Ju's Nomad frame for the eXp
frameset?

3. What are Ju's thoughts on her Nomad?

Sorry for the psuedo-interview format of my questions but I feel like
there is no better people to be talking to than you and Ju who are not
only doing the exact thing we hope to undertake but are also doing it on
the 2 bikes we are considering purchasing... quite amazing really.

Continuing on...

4. Both pro and con, would you change or make a different selection of
any gear including bikes if you could or had unlimited resources? I
ask this because another couple we know that are currently on a fully
loaded world tour have really had major changes of heart with regard to
their bikes since purchasing them(not Thorns... framebuilders here in the
States). The husband spent appx. $3,600.00 on his touring bike and is
quite frankly very disappointed with the frames performance at this
point in their tour. The have been out on the road for nearly 2 years and
are currently in South America. As chance would have it I emailed him
a link for SJS and the eXp and he not only loved the look of it but
said that when he and his wife make it to the UK he hopes to stop in and
talk with Robin... but is fairly certain that after the money he spent
on his current bike and their touring budget there is no way short of
Robin sponsoring him that he'll be able to afford one. He sorely wishes
that he had known about SJS before they left for their tour and spent
their money on their bikes.

5. What are you and Ju running for wheels with regard to rims, spokes
and hubs?

6. How are your panniers holding up? Racks?

That's about all I can think of to ask... nice of me huh? Hopefully I
haven't made too much of a pest of myself in all my questions but I am
so excited to hear your comments!

Lastly, if you both ever decide to take on North America before we
venture out-you both are more than welcome to stop by and stay as long as
you'd like! We could show you around, offer a bedroom to you and as
much food as your bellys can hold! I LOVE to cook.

Absolutely Best Regards-

-Scott & Amy Cutshall

Hi,
Thanks for the interesting and entertaining updates
from your tour - I'd like to do something similar
myself one day.
I was in UB for four months earlier this year, and can
report that there is a large bike section at the Black
Market; they sell cheap chinese bikes aswell as a wide
variety of spare parts and tools (mostly of poor
quality, but probably adequate to get you out of a
fix). One noteable absence was shraeder/presta-valved
tubes; only the hideous woods valves seemed to be
available.
Aparently there is a bike shop on Ard Ayush in the
third or fourth microdistrict; but I never made it
over there. Outside UB, I'd not expect to find
anything; though I do recall seeing a few rear mechs
and cable housings in the market in Hovd. Mongolia is
full of surprises!
Best wishes for the rest of your trip.

G'day Mark and Ju,
I love hearing your cycling adventures and thank you for the pleasure they provide us back here in London.
I am leaving for my own 'London to Sydney' cycle trip in March 2004, in my daydreams for 20yrs and in the planning for the last 12months, my new Chas Roberts bike will be ready for me to pick up next week and that will be a big step towards my trip.
Whilst I have purchased a website I will eventually be looking for someone to re-build what i've started and educate me further on how to upkeep my site whilst I am on the road, your technical write-ups are very helpful in this regard.
Thank-you,
Andrew Rockliff.

Hi Juliette & Mark
MMM have had a wonderful weekend at Crook Morris in the Lake District, when there was lots of talk about your trip, so I thought I would look you up and see where you were. The photos are wonderful and give a real flavour of your adventure. Did you know I was a grandmother now - a little grandson called George and my daughter is expecting another in September. Peter and I have just come back from Tuscany so I could relate to the soak at the hot springs especially after all the hill climbs. Keep going and stay in good health both in body and mind. Love from Jenni and Peter.

We've bought two new bikes so perhaps we're building up to
bigger and better things though I've got caving in Austria

Mark & Juliette,
We do keep looking at the site. The gory picture Juliette of your hand...well perhaps I should send a picture of my stomach (after 3 ops you could play noughts & crosse on my stomach!). Thank you for the get well card - it was much appreciated. We enjoed reading the Juliette's recipes. We have a medlar tree in the yard and Jennie has,only over the last few weeks, started to roast them (most often inside a pheasant) Thus, Mark & Juliette, first catch your pheasant.....
We are thinking of you both often (sometimes with a touch of envy,
All our love,
Mike & Jennie Moore

Dear Juliette and Mark
We love the travelog - especially the photos and the handy hints, particulary the magnetic knee bandage!
Glad that the weather is reasonable and that you are managing the uphill sections without too much wear and tear on the old joints!
I have just survived another INSET day (18th)and now on half term holiday. Looking forward to the inspection on the 18th Nov (l.o.l)On the piggy front, Charlie passed away on the 17th but Zippy (Greylag's son) has returned from stud at Pauline's house.Charlie was one of our original trio, so we are expecting further bad new soon.
We look forward to further news and updates - I am still looking after your tutees (Robert, Adam, and Matthew) but have not got anywhere with getting them to complete their UCAS applications.
Keep on truckin....
Steve, Ann and the motley crew, Rolo and the 10 squeaks!

Have read everything on the website and am very impressed by everything except Ju's fantastic (not) cycling sandals!
Hope you are having a brilliant time - it seems the adventure of a lifetime.
Wishing you both health and happiness ( and a new pair of cycling sandals should the opportunity arise! -you could be the first people to get stopped at a border by the fashion police instead of the local militia!)
Love from Sharron and family.
