Well well well....hardly a Pisco sour has been consumed in triumph since we made it back from all that Peru had to throw at us, but by jove, another Adventure has been signed up for and the planning begins.
What on earth are you doing now, I can hear you all thinking whilst tutting (go on, admit it!).....Well this is hard....very hard in fact, and dangerous, and scary. And since it's just the two us here;if I am to be perfectly honest, I'm not too sure about this one at all.....not at all:-(
Oh, I havent said what it is yet....well....it's THE ICE RUN (dum, dum dum is the music that should accompany the horrible graphics above).
Ok, The Ice Run involves me and a partner waiting until its winter, going to Siberia, picking up a motorbike. Not any old one but an old russian one called "A Ural". These bikes have sidecars (you know like Two Fat Ladies or Walace and Gromit) and are based on the 1940s BMW R71.
We will then take this beast and drive the shit out of them no doubt all the way to a finish point in the Arctic Cicle over frozen lake, ice road and river. This will be about 1500km north and take two weeks....sounds easy no?.....well the real kicker is that its bloody cold.....and when i say bloody cold, i mean fucking cold. -20 degrees! sound cold enough for you....well thats the temp at the warmest point, the southern start of the race. when we finish, well the temperature could be anything up to -60 degree celsius.....Brrrrr...it's enough to make your piss freeze.... whilst its in your member.
OK...the sharper ones amongst you may have noticed that this is two person challenge so who from the incaredibles is making it and who's staying home alone like Macauley Culkin?? All to be revealed soon
Happy xmas
