Hello all,
I have started my big trip heading to China on my Raven Tour. My blog is up and running and can be found at: www.philsbiketour.wordpress.com for those of you who may be interested.
I want to say thank you to everyone that has contributed here, it has been a great help in all the planning, preparation and motivation.
Keep on rolling.
Phil

Hi All!
I've contacted Phil directly to see if we can get an updated link to his WordPress blog. Hopefully, we'll hear back soon and he can post it or I can update it for him.
Best,
Dan.

Sorry about that chaps, I was in a rush to get out in the sun and had a mind fart. I have changed the link and it should work now.

Yay!
We're in business! Thanks so much, Phil, and all best wishes to you on your trip. May it be filled with every kind of positive adventure, followed by a safe return home. Good wishes and thoughts go with you.
Best,
Dan.

. . . and good luck from me, Phil!!
I'm the 'Lewis' that sold him the bike. I am delighted that it is now getting the sort of use that it should have had all along.
I talked about this a bit in a thread called, I think, 'Change needed?' or something, in the summer / autumn of last year. I bought a Cube Acid, which I am greatly enjoying. Which is the better bike? For what I am doing now, the Cube suits me better, and is more comfortable and easier on my aching joints. Part of the problem I think was that my posture needs had changed, and I could not adjust / revise the RT any more than I already had done.
But the more I read and think about it, the more I reckon that Thorn bikes are ideal for their real / intended purpose. My rides now are mainly urban, or on trails not far from my campervan base or civilisation. Would I take the Cube on a heavy camping trip to remote areas? No, but sadly perhaps I will not be doing that.
So keep pedalling Phil, and take care.

Wow, what a terrific "rest of the story"!
It surely is nice when things work out so well for all concerned.
Lewis, that earlier thread is here...sort of makes it the pre-prequel to Phil's present trip and your present solution:

All the best to you both,
Dan.
