Hi, I'd like to enter the competition!

Why should I win? Well, I'm planning on taking a 10,000 mile bike from Kashgar (China) to Malaysia -- passing through Tibet, Laos, Thailand, and Malaysia. I've done a 3,500 km trip through Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam in the past and the two biggest problems were:

a) lugging around 5-6 books was exhausting when traveling through the mountainous areas.
b) it is hard to find books when you are in the middle of nowhere...

Another reason? Wouldn't you want to know how the reader performs at Everest base camp? I promise I'll post about it when I get there since it is one of the stops on my trip! Check out crazyguyonabike.com and look up tibet if you want to know more about the plan... there are trips similar to the one I plan to take.

Oh, I almost forgot... some of the areas I'd be passing through are off limits to foreigners so there is a small chance I could end up in a Chinese prison... a reader would certainly help pass the time!
