  • Well i am not 100% sure where i am going in the long run. The plan was southern spain, visit a friend, then to the montanas vacias, to the pyrenees. But it might be a bit too early for pyrenees. That’s the only route i have prepared though, then a bit massif central and alps towards home.

    I am thinking that i might also take a ferry from barcelona to sardinia or something, if i get fed up with spain for some reason. From there through italy, ferry to greece then head back north. I’ll see, i hope pyrenees will be fine.

    Anyway, i have a good bit of cycling for now, bit of a mix of badlands, altravesur (bikepacking.com) and other routes to my friends.

    The liner is made of ‘egyptian cotton’ (never heard of that before), which is very light too, lighter than regular cotton. Very happy to have gone with this one.

    I take the book just because i have started it already, it was a present.

    I have no helmet, but i might need to buy one in spain if the police catches me, they are mandatory outside of cities. Thought i’d give it a try without :)
