“I’m an avid traveller and cyclist and have been touring regularly for the last 11 years. I’ve ridden from Sydney to London, across Central Asia on a tandem, through Tunisia and Morocco, around SW China and Laos, and through backcountry Cambodia. I love touring and mountain biking: my ideal journeys fuse the two, keeping to quiet dirt roads and trails.

I used to co-run a bike touring business in the Indian Himalayas and work as a bike journalist in the UK. I’m part-funding this trip by writing for bicycle magazines, and have been submitting words and pictures to Cycling Plus, What Mountain Bike, Singletrack, Adventure Cycling, Boneshaker, the CTC and wired.co.uk”

Photo backup

A backup isn’t just having all of your trip photographs on one hard drive. You need to store multiple copies of your pictures in at least two different places in case one of your electronic devices fails.

Also, consider uploading your favorite pictures to an online storage site. That way if all of your gear is stolen you will still have a copy of your best images.
