My hopeful departure date from Ottawa Ontario would be sometime in October(ish) following an 8 week ride to Eastern Canada this summer. Plan to try and pick up some Spanish before then to enhance the SA experience.
So, I've subscribed to the thread and I'm just throwing my name out there in case something comes together and a few of us possibly end up sharing some riding time etc. I'm open to the idea of shipping, totally flexible as to route, timeline etc. I don't have a return date in mind. Might ship from SA to Africa and continue on my merry way.
I'm in Vietnam/Thailand at the moment and if anyone ever has the opportunity to ride this part of the world I highly recommend it.
Cheers ... Greg

Greetings Greg,
Glad to hear from you. Southeast Asia is also on my "bucket list". Your comment regarding Eastern Canada triggered memories of a run I made out to Newfoundland/Labrador via the Gaspe Peninsula back in 2007. Hope you have a good trip.
When are you heading for the Maritimes? I expect to be in Vermont the second week in August (for a bike ralley) so maybe our paths could cross before we set our sights for the southern hemisphere.
Ride Safe,
