If you have been following SBC on social media the past month you have likely seen that Tim spent some time in Japan on a bike tour with a good friend. Stay tuned for Tim's write-up of his trip complete with tons of great pictures and tales of biking on Japan's north island of Hokkaido.What we haven't talked much about yet is the other traveler. Daniel Oates and his Surly Troll that he picked up from SBC and took overseas for what may amount to almost a year long tour. Once Dan gets to China he hopes to bike from east to west and potentially south into India. Dan's travel plans are very open at the moment while he soaks in Tokyo culture and the smooth 1980s music that he tells us is being piped through the speakers of every shop and restaurant he goes into.
Getting Dan out the door was no small task as he boxed up his bike and all his possessions to take on the airplane with him.
We had a few hot nights of packing with Dan and you can see how it ended up.
Dan ordered WAY too much stuff for the trip and a box of things has already been shipped back from Japan to the Shenandoah Valley. All we can say is, "we told you so."
Dan's top slefie over in Japan. Green helmet? Who thought that was a good idea? Yuck.
