It's strange that a trip that is only a week long requires training and preparation 12 months before the event. Having said that we do intend on riding Tasmania and New Zealand not long after.
Shortly I will be scrambling up Pomona Mountain with a few experienced mountain climbers to learn the basics of survival on a cliff face. I'm pretty fit now but I feel that I've got a fair bit further to go if I want to do this trip comfortably. I may look at utilising a personal trainer for a bit just to see where I stand.
At the same time as going up and down mountains I'll be receiving professional off-road/adventure riding training. So soon I'll be better off-road than on! Once I get my unrestricted license I'll do further on-road training to make sure I'm good to go on a new bike should I get one.
Oh, Google Reader is awesome.
