Rate my setup

First ever bikepacking trip. 5 days in, cycling across Europe, started in Calais, made it to Luxembourg tonight, plan is to get to saarbrucken in Germany tomorrow, go through Germany and Austria to lake bled in Slovenia, down to Croatia, then up to the dolomites and finish in Switzerland.

5 days in the set ups holding up strong, had a couple of issues with the chain coming off but managed to get it sorted at a bike shop, just a case of fine tuning the derailleur, although has come off once since, tends to happen when putting the power downhill.

Also my first time riding a bike since I was about 16, first couple days were a bit rough but starting to get into the swing of things now. There’s two of us traveling together, been mixing it up between scenic places and nights out in cities. Had to dial the drinking back after the first few nights though, riding hungover was now fun haha.
