I'm interested in hearing from anyone that might be able to help with useful hints, information from their experiences on long bike trips. I've just in the last couple of days decided to take a trip around Australia on bicycle myself. Unfortunately due to commitements unless some big sponsor comes onboard ( GRIN ) it will be probably at least a few years away.. possibly as long as 2008.. but I'm starting to gather information ideas.. hopfully a sponsor or two.. and starting to buy equipment.. so any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated..

Good question. But some already are talking to me about doing it. And already have one actually sponsor, but seriously to answer the question because of the cheap publicity newspapers publish human interest stories, we're getting clothing made with the "logo's" of the sponsors on them, so many people will see it on the road.. links to their products on the website.. which we will be activly promoting more as it gets closer.. plus makes them sound good!

Well. I had my first major set back for planning my trip . I got robbed last night and they stole my laptop. So I'm pretty upset today. But life goes on.
