The point of now return has finally come. The bike has been loaded into the container and will soon start its 29 days journey from Hamburg to Valparaiso / Chile.

Is the bike prepared and ready for the big adventure?
Do I have the right tools and spare parts with me?
All bolts tightened?
In the last few month I probably took the entire bike apart at least twice and now I start to doubt my mechanical skills. Forget it, it will be all good! In the early days of adventure bike riding bikes and riders were much less prepared than I am probably, and they´ve mad it! What can possibly go wrong.

My flat has been rented out for the next 4 month already. A few more things to do at home still but then I´m ready to go. Can´t wait!!!
