There is a new post on the site of Bicycle Travel Network about our trip at http://bicycletravelnetwork.com/2010/08/what-we-learned-bike-trip-to-asia/. On the website http://bicycletravelnetwork.com/ you can find out more about the trip of other winners of the scholarship. Most of them are on their way already and have great blog where you can follow them. It is very interesting!
We should have wrote about Bicycle travel network for a long time but somehow it got postponed every time. This network was founded by for young bicycle traveler in order to help other long trip cyclists and to promote this way of traveling. You can check out the website at http://bicycletravelnetwork.com/.
I met the network before we left for the bike trip when I read about other travelers and everything that was related to bike traveling. It really took my attention because the network planned to support young first time traveler cyclists with a scholarship. I applied it and in May I read happily that we won 100 $. Here is the article about the scholarship and the winners:

After the winners were announced from time to time interviews were posted about the other winners’ bike plan. For me it was interesting to read about other people’s plan, thoughts, experiences, fears about the trip.
