Hello guys! Glad someone is joining us, thought it might be a miserable Christmas and New Year on our own for a while there.

We are really looking forward to this trip it's only 12 weeks away now I can hardly believe it, it's come round so quickly. Rob and I live in Brighton and Rob is a seasoned cyclist, but I'm not so we've been out for a few training trips so far. I am currently laid low with a really bad cold and am getting worried about the lack of training, but I'm sure he'll put me through my paces as soon as I am back on my feet. 

What about you? Have you done any trips like this before? Or been to Vietnam?

Look forward to meeting you both in December

Kerry & Rob

Hi Alan, did you do your SA trip through Exodus too? The feedback on here looks almost too good to be true, would be good to hear what it's like straight from someone who has been. I've just noticed that there are now 2 itineraries for this trip, one for 2010 and one for 2011 and they are slightly different so I'm going to check which we are doing and let you all know. As for me, my training has truely started with over 90 miles under my belt. This weekend we went up to the Downs, lots of uphill and offroad - getting fitter by the day. There are 18 people booked on this trip apparently a good crowd of us to be spending Christmas and New year together!! Happy training and see you very soon Kerry and Rob

David on live chat has confirmed we will be on the 2010 itinerary. the 2011 one does give a bit more info on the number of kms per day cycline though Kerry

Hello, I've never been on a cycling holiday before, so slightly worried about my fitness, been running and cycling to work but probably going to be very glad of the support bus! and I haven't been to S.E Asia either so any hints or tips gratefully received. Very excited, this looks like the most fantastic way to see the countries, you are right, the feedback looks almost too good to be true! Jen

Hi all

We are also booked on this trip. Don't worry Jen our training starts tomorrow ! I knew we would not get much cycling in now the nights are dark so Ruth has signed me up for a temp gym membership and we are starting spin classes twice a week from tomorrow. The trip sounds fab, not sure about advice for SE Asia, food is great, plenty of vegetarian options, I would probably would suggest a visit to the chemist for upset stomach precautions, lightweight wick type clothes that can be washed out easily as cotton may not have time to dry overnight due to humidity. Off to get our visas this week.
