| 24th May 2008 t.Riddy | - From: Matt's First Blog Relieved to see some sorely missed sweeping generalisations in there Matty! Glad to hear you guys are riding strong, though not sure about all these soft sleeper busses you mention. Good to see the red jersey is getting a good workout, though may need a wash before the ladies arrive... |
| 15th May 2008 Andrew Caruso | Housemates Rebuttal - From: The flats had to happen To be fair, as an ex-housemate, I wasn't too concerned for your safety (although I would be hesitant to grab on to the back of trucks myself), I was more so concerned for your parents reactions, which correct me if I'm wrong, my predictions were on the money. |
| 7th May 2008 Chantal | the HARD road! - From: The Hard Road Amazing! Thank you for sharing these memorable moments with us. Hope your bikes are OK now. |
| 27th April 2008 Peter Mak | For Chris - From: The Tour of (Northern) Laos Cycling with you in Laos for a couple of days was great fun. Hope your journey will proceed without too much hassle and as safe as possible. Enjoy!! Karin and Peter |
| 24th April 2008 Nick Roach | Too many big - From: Kit List Chris, you're an adventurous man! What a kit! |
| 17th April 2008 pedro | Top work lads! - From: Impressions of Bangkok Enjoy the trip. |
| 7th April 2008 Patrick | HEAVY - From: Kit List Merci pour toutes ces informations que je t'avais demandées. Agnes m'avait signalé ta réponse, mais je n'avais pas encore l'habitude du blog. C'est incroyable tout ce que tu portes! C'est vrai qu'il faut un minimum de confort sur de telles distances. La difficulté est de trouver le meilleur compromis entre le poids et l'effort. c'est la même chose pour le 'touring ski''que je pratique. en 7 années de compétitions, le poids des équipements indispensables a été divisé par 2 ( moins d'accessoires, matériel constamment allégé et réduit en taille, chaussures, ski, sac en matériaux plus légés etc.. Ta 'bike' semble lourde ? poids ? pneus larges, sur les routes asphaltée ce doit être un handicap, mais ensuite en montagne ce sera peut-être un avantage. Bravo pour tous tes efforts, vas-y ''poupou'' comme disaient les Français en voyant passer Raymond Poulidor, un ex champion cycliste du tour de France très sympathique. Il neige encore dans le nord de la France aujourd'hui 7 avril. ici tout va bien. Vitor enchanté de son séjour chez ta maman. Il veut y retourner. A bientôt Patrick |
| 6th April 2008 Yok | Thai friends^-^say hello - From: Mountain Man Hi chris I' m Yok ,Thai friend . r u remenber ? How r u? where r u? Nice to met you |
| 5th April 2008 PEK | Go Chris!! - From: The other side of road and river Good to hear from you again and glad that you are so enjoying your trip. Can't wait see you get into China. Take care mate. By the way, from the picture I can tell that was a good pizza....yummy. Regards, Pek |
| 5th April 2008 agnes | - From: The other side of road and river I am glad you felt quite "at home" in Vientiane with its French influence and pain au chocolat ( you remember the gouter at home ) and a replica ( bad copy in fact!) of l'Arc de Triomphe in Paris. We saw one in Delhi near the presidential palace and a mini tour Eiffel in Prague. Good continuation. Take care and thank for all those blogs, a great read... |
| 2nd April 2008 agnes | - From: Staking the border glad to hear your have met Frenchies and are practising your French. You won't be losing your fluency " on the road"... I have just discovered the slide show icon on the top right hand side and we have been able to view your very good photos in big! Thanks a lot. They are amazing and give a good "flavour " of the country. It is good you have been staying at a homestay. Love Maman |
| 31st March 2008 agnes | - From: Staking the border thank you for sharing your impressions with us. the photos are great, so nice and it is fun to read your impressions, a nice way of following week by week in your great adventure. Thank you so much. great pleasure each time + your weekly phone calls, texts ... I am impressed by the 65 year old cyclist couple touring Thailand while their son is travelling the region. May be a thought for us, meeting you somewhere but where ? |
| 27th March 2008 Chantal | Keep going! - From: Mountain Man And I was complaining about the rain and traffic on the M25 last night!! Thank you for sharing your unique experience and good luck for the rest of your trip. |
| 25th March 2008 agnes | - From: Kit List such a lot to carry and drag along the top of a mountain, at 1500m in very hot temperature. |
| 25th March 2008 Chris Akerman | Good luck! - From: Mountain Man Wow, great to hear about your trip and jealous that you're getting to see so many interesting places (although I don't think I could manage all that biking up hills!). Good luck with the rest of the trip, am looking forward to reading all about it. |
| 24th March 2008 agnes | - From: Mountain Man great experience and adventure. but what alot of hard work, climbing 1500m with a bike and a trailer by 40 c. Bravo! You got me worried for a minute with the hospital business. Take care Maman |
| 24th March 2008 Mark Zurowski | I still can't believe you're doing it - From: On the Road Beany, This epic undertaking puts Warrick and my journey from London to Munich to shame. I still cannot fathom you're actually going to use you're own power to get from Bangkok to Delhi through some very inhospitable cycling country.. Enjoy the hotels where you can and keep up the blog.. It's a great read.... |
| 22nd March 2008 Pete Thomas | Inspirational journey - From: On the Road Prompted by your example I got on my bike to fetch the newspaper,a journey of only 1/4 mile but involving a steep hill! While you endure high temperatures & gratuitous banana vendors,I only had to contend with snow flurries and potholes but my modest exertions put into perspective the challenge you have embarked upon. Jane & I look forward to accompanying you vicariously thanks to your excellent 'blog' |
| 21st March 2008 Becky | - From: On the Road So excited to be reading of your adventures Chris! The Thai people are lovely hey? Sooo jealous you're getting so much real Thai food :p |

| 11th March 2008 ChrisH | more gear? - From: Impressions of Bangkok More gear Matt? Remeber pack light!! It is hot here, varies from 25 to 30 day to night. Hoping the highlands of thialand/loas are going to get cold or else i will have carried some warm gear (that i could have got you to bring) for nothing. Glad to hear training is 'on program' |
| 11th March 2008 Matt Haskett | Flights - From: Impressions of Bangkok Chris, great to see that it has started. Just a quick one to let you know that more camping gear has arrived, and the training has started as from today! M. |
