Todays route through Vietnam to to Chau Doc near the Cambodian border: Started off-bikes as we took a 40 minute boat ride up the river (branch off the Mekong) to the floating market. The onto the riverside to a land based market where there were many open stalls with many varied produce, much of which photos would not be suitable for public posting. Then back onto bikes. Part way through the day we stopped for a coffee & snacks break, after yesterday I was already tired and this morning took its toll. Anyway, back again onto bike and pressed on for the balance of the 60km ride. Final photo shot of everyone with our Vietnamese support team & guides.
As my normal rides are short but hard mountain bike rides in the hills of the Peak District, my biggest worry is longer rides over flatter terrain. So, while on the Balearic Island of Mallorca, I headed off cross country to Sant Jordi near the Southern tip of the island. https://www.justgiving.com/page/andyrosser-vietnamcambodia2025 Below are a selection of the photos of the ride.
It's only taken 6 years to reach this point. Started mid 2019 but Covid messed with plans preventing start in October 2020. But reached Manchester coach station and boarded 1st leg of travel to Heathrow via Birmingham .
