In reply to Scott Sharick. Scott! How great to reconnect like this! I try to notice the people on my tours as much as the scenery. I hope your ride through India is going well. It is a big world, but blogs make it a little smaller it seems.

Hey! I’m that fellow rider you met at the FedEx! I expanded my trip and I am currently in India sitting in my tent in a police station in a small town. I am slow to add to my blog but you can see it here: http://www.adventuresofaregularguy.com or instagram @scottsharick.

I was listening to Why I Bike Podcast today as I was riding and I thought to myself – hey that guy sounds familiar and I checked out you blog. How interesting to find you after such a short encounter. I’m not sure if I told you that day but I worked as a respiratory therapist for 30 years so I am quite familiar with CPAP machines.

In reply to roderick young. My issue is sleep apnea, not snoring, I can't ignore it. Read on, I address the CPAP in the days that follow.

I’d get rid of the CPAP on tour. My guess is that you’re going to be tired from a good day of riding, so will have no trouble sleeping. Personally, I know I snore, but if I’m touring alone, who cares as long as I get a good night’s sleep.
