Bikepacking the baltic coast

I just arrived back home from my 10 week long (mostly) solo trip around the baltic sea. I feel like the route has it all: Amazingly wild forests, urban areas, really different cultures and a shared history with the neighbouring states. As a 23/m it was my first long journey riding almost all by myself and I really enjoyed the emotions, thoughts and challenges I went through. I started on the EuroVelo10, which is a long distance cycle path organised by the european union, and left it after 3 days, since it’s mostly on well built roads with busy traffic. The gravel roads were often way more rewarding and adventure-ish 🙂 Oh and yes, that’s a 1995 Giant Mountainbike frame, on which I added a disc mount. It’s serving me well since the beginning of covid. Nothing broke along the route, I had one (1 (!!!!) flat along the way. And that was on the last day. lol.
