    I realize that this video wasn't entirely good news and a lot of you will be a bit disappointed, but I hope you'll join me in my excitement and anticipation of this journey of a lifetime.
    I've been silently planning this trip ever since leaving the UK and it's a surreal feeling to know that it's finally here. It still doesn't seem real!
    There's a lot of preparation still to be done, but I feel mentally ready to tackle the challenges ahead.
    Thanks again for all your support over the years and I hope you're all looking forward to the adventure!

    One the best tips you guys gave was Reece's Outrageous Nut bars!🍫 OMG! Wishing you both all the best in the lives you choose. Thankyou also for the Tassie videos (riding there in Nov). Will look forward to following your new adventures in Asia. 👍

    • @VeloObscura
      @VeloObscura  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hahaha, amazing! You can't beat a Nutrageous!
      Thanks so much for the kind words and support!

    Am sorry to hear of this recent development, but also happy to see that you are both looking ahead to further adventures. I have been following your travels since you set foot on our shores, and look forward to what is ahead. Am particularly keen on seeing how South-East Asia unravels as this area is on my radar for bike touring in the near future. Wishing you both all the very best of luck. Thankyou again for sharing with us.

    Sad to hear. I came across you guys with my 2 mates between the BVRT and SBRT. We had some banter. You both seem like great people. Glad to hear that there’s no bad fall out between you two. I hope it stays that way. Such a great life experience that you both shared. Best of luck to you both!!!

      Wading through the creek crossings? 😆
      What a fun time that was! Great to hear from you again!
      Thanks for the kind words, mate. Really appreciate it!

    Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed watching you & Bonnies trip across Australia. It has inspired me to do more cycling & when I get more time to do some big miles. Keep it up, I’ll be watching you in Asia. I cycled in Vietnam it was brill.

    • @VeloObscura
      @VeloObscura  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank-you for the kind words, mate!
      I'm really looking forward to Vietnam. It looks like an amazing country with so much to see.
      Hope you enjoy the upcoming videos! 😁

    @Jamie.S. 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Looking forward to the bike and bike setup video and why you’ve chosen what you have. Looks like you’ve done a few mods already. Also gear you’re taking, I’d imagine that will need a bit of a rethink now that you’re solo. And the reviews, all bike review stuff is interesting and helpful cause most of the gear we buy for bike packing or touring is only available online so with no other information you’re having to just hope that it’s going to do what you want.
    Anyway good luck with the preparation and the rest of the tour looking forward to it.

    • @VeloObscura
      @VeloObscura  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks mate!
      You're absolutely right. It's tough buying stuff without being able to try it out first and like you say: In today's world, you're often buying blind.
      You're ALSO right that I've been doing some mods to the bike. When I do the video about it, I'll talk about the bike in its stock form and what I did to make it work for me.
      Hopefully you'll enjoy it!
      Thanks again!

    Awww man, kinda sad you're leaving! Hope you will have fond memories of your time in Australia. Was a wild time to be here, that's for sure.
    Best of luck. Looking forward to seeing some more touring content though. Bonnie was a real gem and we loved her contribution to the channel but forever is a long time.
    Best of luck to Bonnie too.

    • @VeloObscura
      @VeloObscura  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah, man! I was planning on leaving sooner or later, but the visa situation unfortunately forced the issue a bit sooner than I hoped.
      Bonnie definitely brought something special to the videos and to our travels in general. It wouldn't have been the same without her! Maybe if the planets align she'll make a cameo in a future video.
      Thanks for the kind words and support! Really appreciate it, mate!

    Yes, very sad news, Dave, but - as the footballers say; it is what it is. Or, that's life. At least you both will have the period when you were together, as a cherished part of your life. It will be great to 'get out there' again, though, so I'm looking forward to what lands in my in tray from April on. Best wishes to you both!!
