Today I started my series of Personal Training sessions, kindly provided by Asia’s premier gym PURE, which will hopefully allow me to reach my absolute peak conditioning for departure on 1 March 2011. I’m training with Sundance and we plan to squeeze 40 sessions into the next 71 days. The aim is to create strength, […]

With a touch over 10 months until departure, my mind continues to focus on getting physically prepared for the journey. I guess the most daunting thing is not knowing how demanding Wheel2Wheel is going to be. Of course it is going to be hard, damn hard riding 20,000 kms in 100 days. Doing anything physical
