To introduce, we are 'music cycles' a 3000 mile cycle trip on custom built touring bike from the UK to Mali, West Africa. Please follow our journey with all the trial and errors of our cycle maintainance and evaluations/observations of everything from gear systems to the world around us!

So we’re both attempting to get into ‘doing’ mode, but the temptations of working from home beckon us away from the should-be-doing to the absolutely-should-not-be-doing, right now such activity consists primarily of eating. You see, Imran has this theory that we can now eat as much as we like because we cycling thousands of kilometers… the grave reality of waddling across Europe is looming however and I am now parroting the phrase ‘tomorrow we are eating nothing but healthy, wholesome, LOW FAT foods’. It hasn’t happened yet.
But our personal battles aside, practical arrangements are coming together and things are beginning to fall into place. We have a tent, a cooker, sleeping bags, roll mats, insecticide treatment, all manner of medical supplies, a swish GPS thing, but something is still missing, something important… our bikes.
They’re a work in progress, with the emphasis on progress I am told.
In the mean time we have an album to finish, routes to plan and funds to raise… I think I can sacrifice sleep for a few days.
Please donate whatever you can to the Joliba Trust via the Just Giving website.
