     About Me...

AdamK  - Scotland - UK Tour 2006

 I'm a long time bicycle tourer, traveller and rider, together with those recreational diversions, add tinkering, repairing, maintaining, reading about bicycles and touring to the aforementioned and you can imagine where a lot of my time is spent!

 So yes, anything bicycle is my main interest/hobby! But at the very least, it is an enjoyable pastime which allows for a lot of dreaming and equal amounts of doing! At one time I had seven bikes including two touring rigs, but eventually it came time to cull the herd. My main touring bike used to be a venerable Cannondale T2000 that I relentlessly modified, ad nauseum! (I’m a retired machinist/fitter, so tinkering comes very naturally). I sold the Cannondale to leave me with my break-apart touring bike that I built up beginning with a K2 suspension mountain bike frame then extensively modified to fit my needs; also to fit into an airline legal case for some previous overseas ventures. I loved that T2000 Cannondale but it was much easier to sell than my "one-off" custom home built bike. Now fast forward to 2019 and I felt that my K2 was getting a little tired and I had a hankering for a steel framed touring bike with disc brakes. Me being me, wanting to build it up myself,resulted in the purchase of a frame and fork for the very popular and relatively inexpensive Surly Disc Trucker, which in 2021 I made into a "Surl-E." Which means that I added a mid-drive, e-drive kit to help this old guy up the hills with all his goods and chattels!

 I hope that you enjoy "riding along," even if only vicariously, with my journals. Most of the journals are a day by day report of my thoughts, locales, people and places visited. And I'm sure that Basil will have some comments to add... as usual!
