TLDR: Denmark has a cool free shelter and camping infrastructure, check it out here and learn some Danish while you’re at it. There is also a ‘shelter’ app for it (I think it is called shelter), I just used osmand POI’s. Some of the shelters require registration, I’m not sure how that process works. The photo shows my...

overlooking silicon valley from the west with just a water bottle (hiked half the way, it was a trail too sketchy for these tyres)
Oh my gody guys and girls. I am beyond hyped right now, two days into riding the Pyrenees west to east....
I’ve wanted to get into bikepacking for years, but I’ve always been concerned about how I’d be able to ride for multiple days. I was on a cycling team in college and the longest ride I’ve done is about 70 miles, after which I was toast and my butt was really sore. Obviously this is different than bike touring, but it...
A shake down ride to make sure everything is in order. Needs a little more air in the forks, and I need to add lights to my list, otherwise all good.
3 punctures, all in different places so not the rim or anything, just bad luck....
She said she planned to travel to Norway pulling this little bicycle caravan! We met her in Dangu, about 50 miles ride NE of Paris. I hope she is enjoying herself and not working too hard to pull it along.
After Paris I got the train to Calais to ride back to Dieppe. I got to Calais to late to cycle as intended, so I found a campsite, then went for a walk down the beach, and found a pretty cool bunker, where the sand beneath it had been blown away. I don’t know who it is that was sat inside it, they invited me over to sit with...
I’ve been doing some rail trails on the “green roads” (routes vertes) to visit my parents for the last three weekends and I stopped at the park for overnights as I didn’t want to cycle the full 140 km in one shot and then back. It’s getting greener!...
But ill post them when im home. Text update instead for now....
I didn’t check the route and miss the second defensive line near Pohořelice so no bunkers this time....
I’ve just finished packing up my bike, and I’m looking forward to leaving in the morning :)...
I am looking for new rear rack. I currently have old rack that I got with my first bike (about 20 years ago) so it shows its age....
(Title picture is from yesterday in the Parque Natural Sierra de Castril, narrow single track only went for a couple 100m but a good occasion to take a photo and make me look like a badass)...
All the stuff i am taking on a two month trip, including bags, the clothes i am wearing, excluding my phone and an actual book which i plan to send home though. Hope i didn’t miss something, but i think i should be good. Leaving my chair at home this time....
I think this may fit here, some of these setups are pretty sick.
On overnighter this weekend I checked out another one. This one is more standard, but still it is basically standard one split and with road in between the halves....
Ill be cycling l’avenue verte from Dieppe to Paris, then back to London. Bivouac en route, and a nice campsite outside Paris on the Sienne to chill out and take a shower in between exploring the city. Ive put a brooks saddle and some ergon grips on my bike too which im looking forward to field testing!
I managed to find some file sharing service (my instance probably didn’t support pictures) so I post here some detailed pics of this bunker....
In June 22 i made a short trip to Belgium and Luxembourg, there was a heatwave going on and i wanted to get to the Sauer Reservoir (Lux) for a swim, i had been there already some years before and remembered it to be really nice....
