Nah, I don't know nothing about that stuff. I eat garbage, I drink, I don't train. I just get on my bike and ride (mind you, at maybe 60km a day, that's a far cry from what you're planning on doing, Tan). Hell, until about 18 months ago, I smoked about a pack a day. I would think that getting a base of lots of miles would be the most important thing. About 200km is my limit right now, and I'd have to do lots of 200km rides before I'd think of doing 235km a day for 14,000km. Best advice (other than putting in lots of miles training) is to get decent bikes that fit right. I"m assuming that since partner is doing the whole distance, he's got quite a bit of experience cycling as it is, most specifically long distance cycling. It would strike me as rather foolhardy to attempt such an endeavor without such experience. Anyway, nice to hear from ya, Tan. Glad that things are going so well. I went to a party last week, and a girl asked for my number. She hasn't called yet... <vbg> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
