Bratislava
Those of you who are regular visitors to our web site are aware that for all our transcontinental trips we send updates from the trip. So here is the first official entry from the 2nd annual Orient Express Bicycle Tour.
Myself, Miles our chef who hails from Canada, Gergo our official photographer (and a general all around support), who is from Hungary and Piotr, our mechanic from Poland are meeting here in Bratislava where we have just picked up our support vehicles. We are working hard to get the mini busses and the equipment ready for the start in Paris.
Piotr, arrived to meet us yesterday morning after a long train journey from Gdansk, Poland. After a short recovery, he went right to work, helping us organize the purchase of much needed equipment. Gergo, arrives today from Budapest. Gergo is a Tour d'Afrique veteran with an eye for the special place and moments of life. Our final staff member Errol, who hails from South Africa, will meet us in Paris on July 28. Errol, is our driver, has also worked with us on our Tours through Africa.
It is now just over a week before the start, for what looks to be a great adventure. We hope everyone will follow our progress from the website, and through our newsletters.
Rider profiles are on line and photos and more diary entries are on there way.
