A great travel blog

Sarah Erck and James Welles are touring around the world on bikes for their honeymoon.

Today's post (The Suicide King) is a great example of why cyclotourists should be reading their blog.  It's well written, funny, and informative.

I met them just before they left.  James was working at Microsoft and I bought a GPS from him and found out about his trip.  The three of us met later for lunch and I gave them some guidebooks for touring in New Zealand.  Great folks and I've really enjoyed their blog.  I hope that they end up back in Seattle after the trip so that I can hear some of these stories in person.

I also appreciate that they are being very upfront about the finances of their travels and writing about the good and bad.
