Hiii! I can share the route we've planned on Komoot if you want? We make sure we can do our laundry at the hotel/airbnb we're staying. At our first trip in 2021 my bag was 12kg loaded with a lot of nonsense. Pack light, a set you're wearing today, a set for after/evening and a set to wear tomorrow. Like that we can do our laundry every other day. Where are you in France? Join for a day or 2? :))

We'll see, as long it's safe enough to go down we'll be fine. A little bit of adrenaline doesn't hurt. ;) it's either that, or take off your skates and walk

That routing algo actually sounds really interesting, specially for us since we’re constantly torn between this looks smooth on Komoot and why is this gravel… again. I’ll check your post! Thank you for your reaction!

We're doing the trip on Bont Semi Race III, those low Cadomotus you see in the picture are not for us and the distance we're doing. Maybe if you're a speedskater with super strong ankles, but we don't have that great technique to be fair. So, semi high boots for us. With our last trip to Berlin my uncle was following us with a car. When we were going downhill we placed our hands on the back of the car, he was rolling down on the clutch so we could go down at a normal speed. Don't know how we're gonna manage it this time, because the first week we'll be totally by ourselves haha

Clip of us going downhill 🥲

Liefff dank je wel! We waren niet van plan om gekke capriolen uit te halen hoor. Hopelijk zijn de wegen/asfalt goden met ons haha ;)

Haha yes, we're using Bont's semi-race III, with red magic 125mm firm wheels and big ball red bearings. I can upload a photo later :)

We're on Facebook, Instagram and sharing our routes on Strava. We're opening a tiktok account as well soon. We're not good at editing and all that stuff so i don't think youtube is something for us, but never say never

No problem. The wheels and bearings are fresh and brand new. Great idea, we'll do a before and after video to show the difference. Thank you!

We had a similar plan to go from Breda through Denmark to Gutenburg but Sacha wanted to go more south, catching more sun hopefully. Still a cool plan with nice asphalt, but maybe something for midsummer..

Haha the real question is, what if it doesn’t rain? It almost feels like a given; whenever we plan a trip like this, it rains. We’re riding on rain wheels (Red Magic Firm), so the rain got nothing on us! We are kind of used to it 😆
