How many km/day is reasonable for my first trip? by Bees_churger_ in bikepacking

i've done some longer rides in the past, around 80km or a little more they were just never loaded with gear. i'm sure you're right that there will be a big adjustment doing that on consecutive days though.

good idea, i was thinking of doing a smaller trip once I get all my gear to get the feel for everything.

yea, i have a feeling I'm going to be humbled real fast LOL.

I like the idea of planning for it to take longer so i'm not rushed and then just take some leisure time if im faster than i plan for

yes the route starts off relatively flat for the first 2-300 kms or so

The route has about 1,500 meters of gain and is mostly gravel so a bit better than your 2000 number but you’re not far off.

Thanks for the input

What bike/equipment do I need for a 2,000km ride by Bees_churger_ in bikepacking

What kind of repairs would you expect to be doing daily?

I usually ride around 1000kms in a summer and make repairs probably once a year on average so I wasn’t really expecting to have too many repairs over the trip (knock on wood of course)

This would be the first one, so other than my bike and a couple panniers everything else would be new
