    Credit card packing Kiel-Alicante


    Hi All,

    I am planning my fist bikepacking! riding from Kiel to Alicante during May to visit family. However its about 2,600km and because of time constraints i do not wish to spend more than ~12 days (2600/12 =216km/d). Thus need to use public transport.

    I am quite a strong rider (4w/kg), packing «aero» and using aero-bars. Not sure how many kms per day but more than typical bike tourers i presume.

    1. where should i fx. Jump on a train to cut distance?
    2. should i assume gravel parts or only tarmac?
    3. anyone done similar route? Any «Avoid/visit» places?
    4. tire choice?

      I always find it more fun to ride further from “home”, so i would take the train from kiel as far as i need and start then. Depending on how cheap you are (and how willing you are to deal with db regio) its also a great deal to just take the Deutschland-Ticket as far as you want. I personally would take a train to at least frankfurt, as from there i feel the landscape really starts to get different.

      Fritz Meinecke hat ne geile Tour durch Deutschland gemacht (Flensburg, Grenze Österreich) und 4,5 Tage gebraucht. Sollte in 12 also machbar sein was du vor hast. Dennoch bin ich auch ein riesen Fan davon möglichst an eine Innerdeutsche Grenze ran zu pendeln und von da aus mit dem Bike los. Nord- und Mitteldeutschland sieht alles gleich aus. Ab Süden wirds interessanter 😄 Wir planen im August ne gemütliche Niederlange Rundreise (~800km) und werden es genau so machen, also kurz vor Enschede parken und auf den Bock umsteigen.
