Hi. My name is Pierluc and I am currently cycling in Northern Vietnam (I am in Son La right now) and I am heading toward Laos. I might be wrong, but there seems to be a lot of cyclists touring the area right now. Well if you ever read this post and you wanna have some compagny let me know. We could share dragon fruits as they are a little too big for one person alone. My email is plelgino@hotmail.com
Take care 'till then.
Pierluc

I am assembling a new bicycle for my next trip through Africa rough roads.Planing to buy a whole Shimano groupset but still undecided which one.The options are Deore,Deore LX or Deore XT.
I can afford to buy the XT but I keep thinking if is really worth to spend the extra money
On previous bicycles travelling in Asia and America I use the Shimano SLX Special Edition and the Deore LX Groupsets and the truth both did the job well and lasted about the same time but the LX was bought for double the money.
On my thinking look,weight or color is not important but reliability and durability.
Suppose if you spend double the money what you get is going to be twice reliable and durable.Does really works like that?
Anybody who have use both cheap Deore and expensive Deore LX or Deore XT can share his/her experience?
Thanks.

Hey
Is it possible to cycle all the way up to Gurudongmar lake?? I understand to travel throughout Sikkim you must obtain a Inner Line Permit, however Ive read that this permit is not valid for the road beyond Tong leading to Gurudongmar lake??

www.lovethefold.blogspot.com Dear LP Cyclists,
I shall be flying in to Langkawi for 3 nights and wonder if I could tap on your expertise and experience pertaining to :
3 must dos
3 must eats
3 must stays (any recommended ones particularly in Cenang Beach area?)
I'll be travelling on our Bike Friday folding bikes and hope to cycle round the island. Are there any routes that you found particularly worth doing? I'm thinking of doing a loop around the island and heard some parts are rather hilly. Really appreciate any help and info! Nothing like first hand personal experience. Many thanks.
Al

Hey what happened to the thread that Peter started the other day regarding Julian Sayer's secret identity?
Why was it removed?
Have any of you read this guy's blogs? Strange....

Plan is to fly to Havana, fly to eastern part of country with bike and do cycle trip back to Havana for flight home. I'd like to stay overnight in Havana, leaving bike box to retrieve for flight home at end of trip. But . . . is a box required for flight within country?
1. Can Americans purchase tickets for flights within country, e.g., from Havana to Holguin or Santiago de Cuba? I assume cash payment would be required.
2. Must bike be in a box for flights within Cuba?

How high is your handlebar? My handlebar is just slightly higher than my seat pos and I always have to lean forward when cycling. My hands feel numb very soon. I know that I should support my body with my torso instead of my hands but it's very difficult when I'm always leaning forward.
I'm riding 6 to 8 hours a day in my cycling holidays. Therefore I'm like to raise the handlebar such that I can keep my body vertical. Does anybody do that? Is that not good? Because I searched photos from web and see most cyclists are leaning "very forward".
