Today is day 2 in Brussels, Belgium. While trying to find accomodation last night, we had an amazing stroke of luck breaking down outside the main fire station. They not only helped fix the bike, but invited us to stay there last night, and again tonight for free!
The alarms go off around the clock here, there is always something going down. Last night they got warning of riots in the area, and had to leave in helmets & etc, including the paramedics.
We plan to leave Brussels tomorrow morning, headed for Luxemburg.

The Epic
A multi-continental challenge, crossing the largest landmass on Earth using a pedal powered quad bike.
The primary objective of QuadEPIC is to raise £10,000 for the WWF. This will be used for the support, development and ongoing conservation of our natural assets, wildlife and resources. We wish to attract attention and awareness as to the importance of protecting our incredibly varied and beautiful surroundings, both in nature and humanity.
The entire journey is estimated to take 353 days in total, over a period of 2 years, however unforeseen circumstances, such as poor weather, bike repair and similar may slightly alter the overall duration. The final destination will be the world renowned Singapore Zoo, with its 28 hectare, ‘open concept’ rainforest habitat.
