#4 又一個環島的笨蛋 - Logo

This is the logo that we have design for this journey ...

Just felt that it is appropriate to have one. Nothing special but we ought to ride like a team and a team would need a logo.

So here it is ...

We have also printed it on shirts ... hopfully it looks good.

My Ride 我的坐騎

It is time to show my bike.

It is a Gary Fisher Nirvana, seldom seen in Taiwan. It is what is commonly known as hybrid or urban bike. It has a mountain bike frame but designed to fit 700c wheel.

Other items fitted:

- Shimano XT set

- Thomson Elite seat post

- Thomson Elite X2 stem

- Truvativ TEAM Raiserbar

- Allay Normad 1.1 saddle

- Sigma BC 1606L DTS wireless bike computer

- NiteRider MiNewt X2 LED night light

- Ortlieb handlebar bag

- Ortlieb Classic Backroller pannier bag

Hopefully this bike will live through what I am about to put it through.

#3 又一個環島的笨蛋 - 行前篇

2 more weeks before we ride. Anxiety is building. Questions in my mind ... 

"Can I do it?"

"What if it becomes too difficult for me?"

"What if my butt is too sore?"

"What if my legs cannot stand it?"

"What if I cannot make it up the hill?"

Too many uncertainties ... too many questions ...

Thinking back on how it all started ... It was because of this website  http://eyetaiwan.frogfree.com/

These guys got me started and thinking. I have got to do something before my body fails me. Everything just comes together and clicked. "I am going to round Taiwan Island!"

According to the many articles and blogs, it would appear that rounding Taiwan Island is not difficult (yeah right ...). But it is not going to be easy either. At least it is a start ... the beginning of a new journey in my life? I don't know but I am willing to find out. Let's see.
