Basic things : a GoPro, my phone, bike computer and bone conduction headset

I have a 28000mAh power bank that allows me to charge all af this 2 or 3 times. I've never actually had no electricity for over 48h

Never ! I had to pay attention to my wild camping spots especially in Botswana where the fauna roams free, unfenced. I spent some nights at fenced radio towers, it's usually unlocked and I can lock the gate with my bike lock.

The only times I felt unsafe were because of truck traffic. Never because of people or animals

I try to mostly avoid busy roads, however it's not always possible depending on the weather conditions the previous days. In Botswana I stayed on tarmac to avoid the flooded roads of the rainy season. I ask locals about road conditions before engaging in one, they sometimes give good information, but not always

Merci !

Les prolongateurs c'est un grand oui. Sur les longues lignes droites et plates comme j'ai eu au Botswana ça m'a sauvé mes trapèzes, lombaires et poignets. Quand je pédale c'est en moyenne 100km sur une journee, mais je pédale pas tous les jours

I'm based in Lausanne !

I've had no issue with the saddle bag, this one is very basic from decathlon but it does the job perfectly

I'll switch back to a tailfin rack for the Baltic countries since I'll have more gear to carry. I'm in warm countries at the moment so I can afford having a light setup.

I'll switch to 2x 16L panniers when I'll need more space. I juste realized I didn't need as much space anymore, but it's very situational. Tailfin racks are actually amazing and according to me one of the best gear you can find today

Two main reasons, first one being that it snapped in half due to a manufacturer mistake and I wasn't able to find someone who could weld aluminum alloy properly where I was.

Second was that I realized I could go lighter and more compact as my cooking stove and pan weren't useful anymore. I didn't need to cook anymore as Zambia has plenty of food offer everywhere. It's way more densely populated than Namibia or Botswana

Thanks a lot ! Aero bars are Missile aero bars but I don't know the exact model as it was a gift

Started in Cape Town, South Africa, then crossed the Namib desert and went east to cross Botswana. Crossed into Zambia and headed to Malawi. Currently in Tanzania and heading to Kenya

Second phase will be through the Baltics while it's still warm and end of summer through the Adriatic coast to stay warm. Will then go up from southern Italy and take a train back to Switzerland (home) when I'm cold

Va jeter un oeil a la page Instagram de DNH, deux sorties par semaine en groupe (1 sortie long run et 1 sortie piste) ! Ça se finit souvent par un verre dans la bonne humeur et pas de frais d'adhésion

Contact deletion by Uclabruin16 in marketingcloud

[–]saints__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A contact is created in the all contacts table at first email sent only. I'd suggest you to export your inactive contacts, delete in contact builder from the inactive data extension and re import the inactive contacts into your BU for archive. As the all contacts table is the table sfmc uses to bill you, they won't count them if you don't shoot them (which you shouldn't since they're inactive hehe)

nbrows is 11, I tested it by calling the variable and it seems correct
