Koga Miyata

I'm thinking of setting myself a personal challenge next year to "celebrate" turning 40 next year.

I have in mind a bicycle ride, maybe riding London to Paris or to Petra in Jordan or Saigon to Angkor Wat in Cambodia. To do this I need a pretty tough bike that can handle different terrain but is light and faster than a mountain bike.

My research has led me to the Koga Miyata, the same one that Mark Beaumont rode around the world to achieve the world record fastest cycle ride.

Or shall I just have a massive party at home with balloons and party poppers...???
