Time Schedule

Building a bike and take it to the North Pole is not a job you can squeeze in. Especially not if you also have to find the necessary financial resources for it.

I always like to keep time as my friend. Also in this challenge. So, I will allow it to take as long as it needs. Everything has to be well prepared. Not only to succeed, but mainly to survive.

Of course, a plan does exist. But that will be handled in a very flexible way. This is how it looks now.

• Getting an R1 donor bike and start the challenge.   Done!
