Planning something? - Mountain Bike Road Trip? Cross country epic? Bikepacking or Singletrack?
Choose a location. Plan your travel (flight, ride to location, train, drive), Pack your bike and repair/replacement equipment (Spokes, chains, Multi-tools, tubes, tires), Schedule a deadline for your mission. Test your equipment and ride your bike ahead of the epic ride. Make adjustments to wheels and suspension. Make a list of equipment you still need (can you use generic bags/packs?), buy replacements, maybe rework your bike using spare parts/wheelsets and talk to your friends. Bring a buddy, or when the schedule comes and nobody is available - Plan B: Go solo and enter your favorite world - on a mountain bike. Have fun, be flexible and work at entertaining yourself - it's easy on an adventure.Ted Simon Foundation
About the Korean-World Author
Brian has completed his second mountain bike journey, MongoliaX expedition - Crossing Mongolia 2012, an unsupported mountain bike MTB expedition across 2500km of Outer Mongolia from Ulanbaatar to Altai Taven-Bogd National Park bordering China, Russia and Mongolia.
In 2013, as a sequel to a trilogy of cycle tours, Brian enjoyed a more leisure bicycle tour onboard his Koga-Miyata World Traveller seeing the northern tier of the United States and western Canada covering 3400 kilometers / 2000 miles in 30 days. This North American cycle tour was called Totherocktour. Enjoying the adventure of bicycle travel and every great conversation started while traveling on the road - has refueled his inspirations to cycle around the Earth. In 2013, while he cycled solo from the Great Lake State of Michigan, United States to Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. He weaved through local communities and reconnected with friends, family and community after spending almost a decade in Asia.
Brian is now supporting several non-profit foundations through expeditions: IDEAS Foundation of Canada IDEAS is the acronym for Intestinal Disease Education and Awareness Society which supports the IBD community, those suffering from IBD-inflammatory bowel disease, also known as Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis.
