>> THE NEXT LEG, STARTING EARLY 2006>>

The Southeast Asian leg will entail biking from Singapore up through Malaysia, Thailand, Laos and into China. The route will make a big loop to avoid Myanmar (Burma) and the Thanglha Mountains in China's SW corner before climbing the Tibetan Plateau to the foothills of the Himalayas.

A hiking segment over the spine of the Himalaya range through Nepal will take the expedition into Northern India, at which point bikes will again be employed for the long southward descent through India to the coastal port of Cochin.

This leg will start early 2006.
