Riders On The Storm

Pit stop in Da Lat
Very quick stop here! Got the bus to Da Lat and met Ellen from Holland on the bus - had a good laugh on the bus and she ended up sharing our hotel room. Amy managed to find us a hotel for 3 quid each for the night - it was basic but it would do! Spent ...

A whole World of Ouch
Day 8 - 610 km down, in Dong Hoi Perhaps more painful than cycling 150km in a day is getting chili in your eye. Trapped in my new world of self-imposed suffering, I had forgotten how much that hurts. I'm pretty sure I just convinced ...

Training it rapidly through Vietnam

The Best Day Ever
