Halfway through "Riding the Edge".
Good read but slightly amazed by some of his "tantrums" and what appears to be a lack of bike preparation i.e. no spare levers etc.
I realise we're lucky to have the Internet these days but Dave appears to have carried out very little in the way research prior to embarking on his epic trip.
For me, the best part so far is the amount of help he's received, quite often free of charge & normally from those with the least to give - very inspiring & uplifting IMO.
BTW, JSherm - good thread, long may it continue!
