If you’re reading our blog you probably already know us, but for those that don’t here’s, well, not very much info at all as it turns out.
Firstly we’re Jo and Mike, we call Christchurch New Zealand home and have been working here for the last couple of years while coming up with our latest plan.
We’ve done a bit of travel and spent a bunch of time playing in the outdoors at home and away, Skiing, Biking, Running Kayaking and Tramping, you know the stuff.
Anyway, not much more to say as this blog is mostly just to keep family and friends up-to-date on our plans/progress.
-date on our plans/progress.

Hi Mike & Jo,
We are Yi & Jo from Christchurch, original from Beijing, China. Occasionally we met your father Max in his garage shop when we fixed our car and heard about your bike trip from Beijing to Paris. We both love travelling and have done a lot of tours in China during the past few years. Yi loves motorbike and touring in tibet a lot of times. We always met biking people on the way, all friendly to each other. Good on you! Have a fantastic trip!
hi there you two,
Wow your photos are amazing and I really thought that it would only take you a couple of days biking to get there (was I wrong or what) luv josh.
I think the bio cow poo photo was the best. You are going to be my news at school this week. Luv kaleb
Hey Guys,
Great to hear that you are watching. Josh, we didn’t think it would take so long either, turns out it is a really long way!!! hahaha
Glad you liked the poo photos Kaleb, haven’t seen any more worth taking photos of but we are on the look out!!
Well we only have a couple of days left in Iran then we are off to Turkey, will update the blog soon-ish:)

Hi Guys,
Have just been enjoying reading some of your posts as we start planning our trip from SW China down through Asia to Malaysia… and maybe Oz on our way back home to Lyttelton. Glad to see you managed okay in the hills in China, and with the language and food. Our turn soon! Maybe we’ll see you back in Chch sometime. Hana and Mark (:
