Less than 24hours out from our flight (FD3525, Departure T1 1315H) to Phuket before I begin arguably the biggest adventure of my life so far, I daresay my feelings are one of nervous anticipation.

We've trained hard, we've prepared well; we're armed with the knowledge that every pedal stroke we push, every km we cover, has a purpose and a meaning behind it. Apart from the personal desire to seek and push our individual limits, we hope that this little project which we've initiated helps the kids from the Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund. It may not be much, but I think every little bit counts.

We also certainly hope that this project which we've started from scratch, inspires youths to really step out of their comfort zones and look beyond. It's not easy, but it's definitely worth all the trouble.

Before I round off, I'd really just like to thank all our sponsors and supporters who've kindly helped us in the various ways in the lead up to the expedition. Without them, this would've been a lot harder than it is.

Also, our family, friends and loved ones who've put up with our insane hours and demands at times, the sacrifices which they have made to aid us in making this extremely possible.
Thank you.

This sounds like a after-journey post, but believe me, the Ride has just begun! Stay tuned to the blog for updates on our progress, we may not be able to do it everyday as some parts of our expedition may not be well connected to the net, but we'll do our best!
