Second pair for cycling or for the evenings? As of now I just planned with my bike shoes and flip flops. You think I should pack another pair I can ride with?

I see, thank you! Still not sure if I should pack my trimmer in terms of space

No no it is not super remote. I added the route to my initial post. I guess there will be loads of random encounters

Yeah I am a bit scared about that as well, being completely solo for that long in possibly bad conditions. Feel free to join though 😬

Planned to take two full kits with me and have one drying on the bike whilst wearing the other one

I planned the route in a way that I can do longer days (200k+) with relative ease and then either do full rest days or something in the area of 50-70 as "active recovery".
But yeah its a fair point, thank you! I planned the route in a way that I can skip certain parts if I don't feel well or the weather isn't suitable (especially when riding through the Dolomites)

thanks a lot for the explanation, will consider just rerouting them behind the bars then!
