A retrospective: modes of travel
We have never had a tour remotely like this one where we used alternative modes of transportation as often as we have this time. In Seven months we’ve taken a train, ferry, taxi or private car 30 times. And we’re not done yet! We’ve taken the train ten times this month, which I’m pretty sure must be a new CycleBlaze record. Team Anderson excels again!
I’d been planning on putting up a post about this at the end of the year, but after today’s exhausting fiasco I thought I’d start it now and just keep it up for the rest of the tour.
