Hi,
I posted a few times over the past few months, about a trip to Barcelona which a friend and I had planned. Due to reasons logistical and financial, we had to switch to Amsterdam.
Departure date: 10 August.
We finally plumped for a pair of Dawes Kara Kums, and other stuff like panniers and so forth, have been bought piecemeal (Vaude for me, some other make for my friend, but I've yet to see his). As for sleeping, he has a tent and I've got myself a Hennessy Hammock. 'can't wait to try that out (here's hoping we get some trees en route...).
And we've knocked a small site together...

This is our first big trip (we've both pottered about on bikes in our home country for 30 years or more, but never more than 20 miles in one day), and so we're prepared to make errors and be somewhat out of condition for the first few days or so.
Wish us luck !!
