Until now, every post it seems, has come from your humble corespondent Mr. Woodruff Schneider. Now, in an old British colonial house in the old Indian capital of Calcutta, your perhaps less humble correspondent Mr. Scott Norton emerges from a flurry of longitude, latitude, photoshop filters, and web scripting languages.

All the while wheeling and taking photos, I carry a small GPS datalogger that tracks our movement. I then process the data using various tools (1 2 3) and serve it to you, our most devoted readers, for enjoyment.

How can you benefit? Two ways:

1. Point your browser to our maps page, to see up to date progress on our itinerary and photos that we’ve taken.� http://asiawheeling.com/maps/
2. Download an automatically updating Google Earth file that contains our Blog Posts, Photos, GPS recorded routes, and planned itinerary. You’ll need Google Earth for this. Once you’ve opened the file, you can save it to your places, and every time you open Google Earth, you’ll see our fresh content.� View the File: Follow_AsiaWheeling.kml

Happy following!

Here you can see the Jersey’s we will print for the trip. The front of the shirt has the name of each country and territory we will be visiting in its native language. The size of each country’s name roughly designates how much time we will be spending there.

The back of the jersey features our namesake and the silhouette of a bishop. Why a bishop, you ask? According to wheeling terminology, one who rides in front of the pack is referred to as “bishop.” The bishop determines where the turns will be and sets the pace of the wheel. He who rides in the back of the pack is known as anti-bishop.

Our ears will be twisted by unknown tongues;  our faces bronzed by unknown suns.
