Sarah’s not sure that it really is light at the end of the tunnel, but a deep dark pit! Yes – reintegration is going to be most un-fun… I’m at least looking forward to the new job and have lots of bike and house projects waiting in the wings of which Sarah’s keen, but would still rather be camping next a nice river or lake somewhere.

Wow tom. It’s making my head spin. Surely your head.is spinning too! Light at the end of.the tunnel is visible! Will be weird to finish no? You may have trouble reintegrating at first you think? Stay strong guys! Single digits now! You are amazing! Cindi

Thankfully the bike was mostly unloaded – so we didn’t lose her panniers, bar bag and Porcelain Rocket seat pack. Though a PR framebag, OMM rear rack, Sella Anatomica saddle and unused spare Schwalbe tyre did go. The loss of a bike that fitted her and the only saddle we’ve ever found that got close to being tour-comfortable along with the obvious attachment to a bike that’s been through such a lot with her are the worst things.

Still – better that than physical harm or worse.

Thankyou for your thoughts

Tom (and Sarah)

Yikes….that’s rough….*hugs*

It’s not fun to lose a bike at the best of times, but in the throes of a bike tour with your gear attached that’s terrible.

Maybe I should have tried your

Great to hear you’re upbeat and back on the road.

As you well know, people do all kinds of journeys on all kinds of bikes, so as long as it has wheels…

I just met up with Jamie at the Bike House and went for a wonderful ride with him around Silver. Hoping to meet up with Gary next for a few days of bikepacking here in New Mexico.

Then, I will head back south – really!

Thank you so much. You already did make things easier for us, by leaving this kind message. Indeed we have felt very supported by the bike touring community. (At least mine was not loaded, wow, that’s huge! – what did you do? – I will have to read your website now!) Sarah

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Really devastating news. We lost a fully-loaded bike in Bolivia and know how it feels.

I’m sure all of us in the bike touring community will do anything we can to help get your tour back on track.

Please let us know how we can make things easier for you.

even if it’s just a material, replaceable object, it’s never a nice experience, after going through so much together. hope you figure something out that lifts your mood.
