Hi,
This is Frankie, I m from china and currently living in UK dong my PHD degree, as I m going to finish my thesis next year, I got a plan to ride home all the way from europe to China. Though I have been riding bikes for quite a long time and have been to several bike tours, but they are all short tours and none of them is expedition style tour, as I just started plan this trip, the whole idea is a bit too big for me at the moment, the exact departure date and trip route have not been decided, as I m at very early stage of planning....advices, ideas and helps of all aspects are welcome.

And more importantly, If anyone is thinking of doing a similar tour, I m more than happy to join, please email me on jaxxhope@hotmail.com...

Cheers

A couple of things you may want to look at

Willie Weir is an adventure cyclist and author - he likes to take long self supported trips to out of the way destinations, so you may be able to pick up some tips from him http://www.willieweir.com/index.shtml

This site is more directed towards cycle touring in America, but they have a forum as well that you may find useful - there will be many more touring cyclists there, more gear information, people who have toured in Europe and China and maybe even people who would be interested in joining you.
