Bikepacking the Far East

Last week we posted the first installment of Michale Duffey’s bikepacking trip around Asia. Seize the Moment was the prelude to what is sure to be an amazing bikepacking adventure.  Here is a tentative itinerary of Michael’s trip.  China: Arrive in China and meet up with a Chinese family for their new year near Hangzhu from Chengdu Sichuan which is on the eastern side of Provence. He will then Circle Sichuan and drop through to Lijiang to Laos. SE Asia: He will cross Laos to Vietnam near Hanoi, down to Saigon and through Cambodia to Thailand and finally to Malaysia. Depending on a lot of factors this should take all of April and May if it works out. Michael plans to return home sometime around late May, early June. The whole trip will of course be dependent on factors outside of his control, so somethings may work and I’m sure something’s won’t, but its guaranteed to be a great adventure. Below is the list of gear that Michael will be taking with him. Winter gear
