Round the world trip

Hi fellow XT'ers.

Check out our site, the bike prep page might be of help.
We depart the end of may, that's when the blog will start, If you want to be updated on blog entries just drop us an email.

Got to say thanks to this site for many things learned and we owe Kev a beer or two when we get to OZ.

If any one wants to ask any questions we would love to help.
