Greg's Training: Pedaling On!

Greg has been training for the upcoming ride to Bangkok for some months now.  In the last 30 days alone, he has cycled over 730 kilometres for over 30 hours of pedaling in the Cambodian countryside, filled with views of postcard-like rice paddies and smiling faces.

During his training, he has encountered many of the physical obstacle he will see during his solo journey next week, including, water buffaloes crossing the street, numerous potholes to avoid, dogs running alongside his bike (at times too close for comfort), motos swerving in and out of traffic as they carry 4 sacks of rice on the back, among many others.

Over this last stretch of training he has maintained an average speed of 24 km/h on his GIOS bike and burned a  total of 18,503 calories.
