Here’s a very rough itinerary for my trip. This is subject to change based on weather, whim, geopolitical reality, disturbances in the force, and so on:
Spring 2011:
- France
- Germany
- Czech Republic
- Poland
- Lithuania
- Latvia
- Estonia
Summer 2011:
- Finland
- Sweden
- Norway
- Denmark
- Netherlands
- Belgium
Fall – Winter 2011:
- British Isles
- through Europe to Egypt
- N. Africa (Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco – and, if possible, Libya and Algeria)
- Southern Europe (Spain, southern France, Italy, Croatia, Greece)
Spring – Fall 2012:
- Turkey
- Georgia
- Russia
- Kazakhstan
- Mongolia
- China
- Laos
- Vietnam, Cambodia, and/or Thailand
My dream 2012 route is more like the following, but political realities make visiting a number of these countries, shall we say, challenging:
- Turkey
- Iran
- Pakistan
- India
- Nepal
- China (entering via Tibet Autonomous Region, then Sichuan and Yunnan provinces)
- Laos
- Vietnam, Cambodia, and/or Thailand
I’ve recently thought about starting the trip by riding from Seattle to the East Coast, so that I have another opportunity to see my family before I embark into the unknown.
This is quite the undertaking, obviously, and more than a little crazy. But then, so am I.

[…] moons ago – in fact, back in August before I’d even bought the bike – I posted an expected itinerary. For a number of reasons those plans have changed somewhat, so here’s a revisit. The big […]
