We all dream of an epic bike trip. Loading up our favourite machine with everything we might need and then setting off into the Sunset in search of adventure and mishaps. Not everyone does it of course, which is a sad thing because a road trip, especially on a bike is an amazing way to spend time.

There are loads of different ways of doing it but one account that has recently caught our eye is Poor Circulation. Two motorcycle couriers from London have set off to ride around the world on a budget of £20 a day. They are raising some cash for charity but mostly it is about going on an adventure with very little support.

This blog account is one worth starting at the beginning.

They are doing the whole trip on a shoe-string and there is a real sense of build-up as they get closer to the day when they set off. The first section across Europe is pleasant enough but when they get into Russia things get a bit more 'interesting' and they have to deal with corrupt policemen and even worse their friendship breaking up.

'Buddy fatigue' is quite a bit problem on longer road trips, especially when it's just two men and the road with no support team but this just makes the story more gripping.
