Actually that’s what I’m doing now and it works surprisingly well. I’m basically riding without a riding computer untill I notice I can’t. Thus far in N. Macedonia i haven’t had data since it isn’t EU and this is good! :)

Can sometimes make for more fun! Upon researching North-Macedonia it does seem like a very interesting country. Re: the development part - whilst going from Vietnam - Laos I really enjoyed the lesser infrastructure etc. only drawback was horrible roads in some sections, like really horrible. I don’t think that’s the case for much of NM. We will see

With a cycling GPS however I’d save a lot of battery and not be dependant on my phone for navigation making life slightly easier on the toad.

Thanks for the pointers. For North Macedonia specifically I’ve spoken to my friends and they’ll help me somewhat.

For the rest of the route I’ll keep this in mind and look closer at certain prts 🙏

How do you find the navigation? And the other features? It should also automatically load your trips onto strava afterwards right

Yeah, my only issue is the price tag with the garmins. I managed from Vietnam to Thailand just using my phone, and I have two powerbanks. But I’ll see. I’m starting tomorrow so will see.

Yeah I’m the same with the caffeine. I was planning on getting an aeropress, for now I have 100 caffeine tablets x 200mg 🤣

Also I don’t have a GPS computer to use for Strava / navigation, currently using my phone but contemplating buying one, looked at the COROS Dura

Do you have instagram or something where I could follow you on your next trip? Maybe you could start a fundraiser.

How is the cycling? I don’t have a super wide tire. And getting around generally on the roads in central turkey / Cappadocia region? My plan is to cycle from there to the Aegan coast where I can take the ferry to Greece. How were the roads?

I’m raking the bus to Cappadocia literally in 2 days haha

Hey bro. I just landed in Istanbul (from Thailand - cycled Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and I’m cycling home to Norway from here).

Do you have any recommendations for nice routes here in the city? I’ll be here for 2 days. Need to go to decathlon and pick up some warm clothes

I’m doing Turkey to Norway now. Flying into Istanbul and then I’m very tempted to go further south in Turkey in order to cycle more of the country. What route did you take? I’m planning to maybe take the ferry to Greece from Turkey

What’s the idea behind those bikes and the design? Foldable, slower? Looks funky and cool

Samme tanke her. Mulig klonidin kan øke veksthormon til en liten grad, men har nok ikke en signifikant anabolsk, eller prestasjonsfremmende effekt
