I'm in Hanoi Vietnam at the moment. Got here May 30 after 2 months in china. I did a ton of hiking in china but hardly any cycling. Now that I'm in Vietnam, the cycle adventure can begin! I will be riding from Hanoi in the north to Saigon in the south.
Yesterday I bought a 1992 Schwinn Impact Pro with tins of new parts. The thing runs like a champ and I think it rides better than my relatively new Trek at home.
I have a few other odds and ends to get. Helmet and lube, I found a piece of wood on the side of the road that I'm going to strap to the rear rack so I can tie my ruck down to it. I'm not going to spend money on panniers I am just going to strap some bags to the wooden yoke.
I'm really excited to get going. I'll likely leave Thursday morning as long as I have everything sorted.
