I've just come across this site, WorldBiking.Info, which gives lots of information and advice about cycling in different parts of the world. They have some good posts like 'Top 5 Reasons to Cycle in Benin'.

The amount of good sites about to help people who want to do some adventurous cycling is amazing these days. Back in 1991, there were a few books and that was all! I got one leaflet from the Royal Geographical Society about cycling expeditions which was quite helpful but it was mainly to stop people calling them!

There has been an explosion of people taking long journeys by bike which is wonderful.
But I think to do it in "your day", pre-internet, is a far more hardcore adventure...

Hi Al,

It's interesting that you say that. I don't look on it as being hardcore. It was just the way it was and we dealt with it. Reading Peter Gostelow's blog (bigafricacycle), it seems like not much has changed there since the early '90s when I was there. The only difference is the kit he's using has improved. Africa still seems to have changed little.

I'm really enjoying reading your blog, particularly making 2011 a year of 'micro-adventures'. I'm going to take my 11 year old son on some this year to show him how much fun it can be.

Thanks

Will
