I'm off next week for a trial run ... 8 days off-road biking through the outback of Cambodia. I'm meeting a friend who lives in Phnom Penh, probably in the Heart of Darkness bar for a beer or two. Then we're hopping on a couple of off-road bikes (if TC's pulled one of them out of the river)and tracking down some rural retreats.

The rough itinerary is:
13th arrive Phnom Penh for beers
15th back roads to Kampot
16th Bokor
17th Kampot for a couple of days with a few day trips including Kep and maybe Koh Tongsai 19th Kompong Saom for beachy stuff
22nd back to PP

This gives me time to trial my boots (ouch), gloves (argh), and helmet (oof) as well as things like mosquito nets, water carriers and malaria tablets. We'll be kipping under the stars (mossy-fodder) and learning how to chill a beer in under 2 minutes (I'll teach you). And crashing. Lots. Should be wild.

Here's a map. I'll post some photos in a couple of weeks.
