Bike Tour Eurasia's Guestbook

glad to read of your trip
I was glad to read of your trip. I was suprised that Josep turned back. He looked incredibly fit. Just probably wasn't what he expected. I am glad that I could be of assistance in Anchorage. It sounded like an epic trip and reminded me me of my trips up Denali when I was a little younger and of my work as a volunteer ranger on the mt. on several occassions. Makes me tired just reading about it. Unfortunately, my cat, Mallory, died a few months ago (old age) and I got a kick out of you mentioning him checking out your gear. You did have a lot of shit. I will never climb Denali again, but am planning another back packing trip in the park in Aug.- probably Wonder Lake across Mogonagul pass. You are welcome to stay here again if ever needed. My friend Karen and I are buying a second home in CA so maybe will see you in Lake Tahoe for some skiing tjhis winter.

love the journey
Chad, Love the way you tell a story! Thanks for the inspiration. Keep living the dream. Be well! Josh

Team
Hi team, Wow, the waters and country look incredible!!! Alpine is in Virginia of all places. Raking in more late season oats. I suppose if Jora remain kid free we could just quit working for a while and follow in your tire tracks!

Enjoying the trip with you !
Hi to all-- Your descriptive and amazing commentary is fantastic -- I have so enjoyed vicariously traveling along with you. Please give my best to Julie and J.P. with thanks for Julie's phone call from Macedonia. The moon is shining brightly on all of us, wherever we are.....Enjoy your continuing adventure.

Hi Guys, Thanks for the nice write-ups. It makes me want to join you except for the description of the heat. That I can do without. I am on my way to Nairobi by bus in an hour to pick up Kathy. She arrives tomorrow after a long hiatus. We will get back to Moshi by the weekend for Christopher's wedding. My best wishes.

Beware the Bandits
I don't know if you're familiar with the 1894 journey of Frank Lenz, one of the first bicyclists to try to navigate the globe on a two-wheeler. He met a still speculative, but ill fate in Turkey. I read about him in a 2009 issue of American History magazine on Sunday afternoon. A synopsis is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Lenz,_adventurer . 100+ years later, the roads are better, your ability to telecommute distress assured, and the Turks are more agreeable--so have fun. (BTW, also slightly tweaked your front page, although you'll prolly not notice: http://www.angelfire.com/md/Wiles .)

Best ever
Hi guys, that was the best blog yet! I hope that as you have lightened your loads and are back to the bicycles, that as you peddle Northward toward "europe" proper especially as JP n Julie come in your "expedition" becomes just a little more "vacation"! :-) Thanks for writing! Mark

Life
It all sounded miserable and delicious at the same time. One of those trips that gets better as you move away from it. Best wishes. Greg

Write more!
Keep your thoughts and experiences coming! Helga tells me your original bike-travel plans changed. Please write about those. See you when the snow falls in Tahoe! pam

Great Insights
Chad, Allison, you two hooked up again, super! Loved your insights Chad, that our official foreign aid ends up down the rabbithole and resurfaces in a numbered account in Switzerland, or somewhere else. Can't wait to hear about your new biking adventures. Viel Glueck und bleibt gesund, Helga

summertime......
Chad- All that nice snow at Tahoe this spring has made for some mighty fine swimming these days and I am making the most of it. Daily Tahoe dips are good for the soul and brain! Zia is part trout, she is a great dog paddler. Miss you, hope all is well. Looking forward to hearing what you and Allison do on your incredible fall adventures. Pablo is working on lots of house projects, including a new metal roof to shed all that snow. Safe travels, M .

Hello Again
Dear Chad and Allison, I love your blog site so I hope to keep getting the updates on your adventures. Chad and I hope to do a clinic together in a week or so here in Moshi so that will give him a taste of my life over here. He is off in Tanga on the coast right now looking at a property for a friend. It has been great to have him back in Tanzania. The next mountain trip should be exciting. May the God of the Winds be at your backs when you need it. Best wishes. Greg
