0 km (kunming).

well, tomorrow (barring any unforeseen circumstances) is the start of the great bike adventure (woooo) '08.

my odometer is set to kilometers since this part of the world is strictly metric, but for those of you that may be metrically challenged, it's about 1.6 km to the mile. i'll trust that you can do the math from here.

i'll work my way south over the next few days to yuanyang (a town famous for it's rice terraces), and then head southwest through some hilly terrain to the town of jinghong. after a few days in what is supposed to be a very se asian feeling region of china, i'll head south to the laos border. if everything goes according to plan (something i'll undoubtedly say quite often but will, i imagine, rarely come true) this should all take about two weeks.

more soon, including photos, if i can ever get them off my camera.

Have you thought about creating a "My Map" in Google Maps? We could follow along as you post your progress....
