• Throwing some mean shapes there guys. If it wasn’t for the pretty background I would have thought you were at a rave!

  Keep it up

  Much love

• Yep some mean shapes indeed but probably the closest we were to a rave was Emma thinking that Im raving mad when I spill out all the random thoughts I think about while cycling through the beautiful scenery.

  Thanks for the props on the dance moves as well. Since I joined the photos Ive been trying to spice them up a bit!

  With light long into the evenings and a desire to get out of the lowlands before the mosquitoes ate us alive, we passed the 12,000 kilometre milestone on our second to last day between Kirov and Perm on 26th May 2011. This 1000 kilometres flew by so fast that we had to double-check it! – Posted by Emma

  On the 13th May 2011, our seventh cycling day in Russia, we passed the 11,000 kilometre mark on our way into the town of Kostroma. We have been gradually getting adjusted to the long straight Russian roads, the variable cycling surface and the fact that even a 100km plus day makes little dent in our map of Russia. – Posted by Justin

  At 143 days after our last 1000km photo we’ve finally completed 9000 kilometres on the bicycles. This photo was taken on 22 January 2011 at Rumelifeneri on the Black Sea Coast, auspiciously marking the middle point of our longest and hilliest training ride since settling in Istanbul. – Posted by Emma

  The epic Black Sea Coast route is the scene for this 10,000 kilometre photo taken on 11th April 2011 near Yaykil, Turkey. The last 1000 kilometres has seen the full range of cold weather cycling conditions, many refusals for payment of cay and the fewest navigational challenges of the trip – we just followed signs to Trabzon with the sea on our left. Next up is Russia where for our next 1000 km photo we will need to employ another hand! – Posted by Emma

  We passed the 6000km mark in the tiny village of Glumac, Serbia (however in Sarajevo, Bosnia our bike computers mysteriously added about 50 or 60 kilometres after a short pedal around town, so we’ve let go of accuracy a little for this post). We found a free camp spot down the road and behind train tracks shortly after this photo, asking permission from an old woman carrying water from the river to her garden at the end of a hot afternoon. – Posted by Emma
