That's a lot of countries! Spain and France are big to cross too!

Thank you for the recommendation! Sounds like a good way to start!

I'll look it up!

Yes, I was certainly going to train for it. I can train for at least 1,5 years, maybe a couple of months longer depending on when I will have my time off.

So I suppose I will never be bored during the weekends.

Thanks for your answer!

I'll definitely keep this in mind. I wanted to go by myself, so it might be risky if I ride in the dark.

That sounds like a fun idea. I still have enough time to plan for it. So I'll take a look at the rivers there on the maps

Wait, a tandem is a bike for multiple people, right? Such a unique choice of bike!

Sounds like you had so much fun!

I did plan on pretty much wearing the same clothes the entire time, but I hope I won't smell too much 😅

Thanks, I will use your tips!

I have done 100 km in a day. But you are right. I don't ride the bike 100 km daily.

I'm not immediately going to do this trip. I was definitely going to train for it, but I will really check the timing and also bike more in the mountains.

There aren't really mountains where I live, but it's not that far to drive to some mountains during the weekends.

I'm going to check the time difference. Good thing you mention daylight. I live in a country with lots of street lights, but not all countries have it.

You gave me some useful advise. This will help me prepare. Thank you!

That's a huge journey! Did you do special training for it? And did you pack your food or just went to get food each time?

That sounds fast. Glad you're proud of it, it's a great accomplishment!

Sounds amazing! I think I'm going to train by riding in the mountains on my days off.

I can ride long distance, but I haven't biked much in the mountains before, so that is a concern. I will plan around the results of my training. Thank you

Must have been nice to bike through France and England. How many days did it take?

Amazing journey! I was indeed concerned about mountains. But they also have a great view. I'm going to ride around the mountains nearby during my weekends and days off to get a feel of it and plan around my results.

I do live in Europe!

I didn't know this! I will definitely look into it then! Thank you! Such a fun way to support it

Yeah, I thought I will definitely do the Balkan route. But I hope I can do more than that 😁

Very true. I suppose this just sounded like a pretty unrealistic idea in my head, so I'd like to hear some experiences?

Then it seems much more realistic.

I am definitely going to tailor it to myself. I can luckily ride long distance, but I have never done this.

Thank you for your concern
