As the title suggests, I will be going on my first ever bike tour across Belgium and the Netherlands and looking for some tips/advice/general comments on my set up. I am going for 10 days solo and will be staying in hostels so I feel I don’t need to take much? I will be adding one more bottle holder and will have a camel pack on me.
Any thoughts appreciated 🙂

add a phone holder or bike computer. i did similar, be aware of being back loaded, but is still manageable. a good tire lever and small foot pump may be worth the real estate in case of puncture, but in benelux you can get by anyway. jave fun
Eat before you get hungry, you’ll have a much better time later in the rides because of it! Dates make a good snack because they are full of sugar and fiber.
Awesome! If you’re navigating with your phone maybe bring a battery pack. For a week and no camping you don’t need that much stuff. I saw you want to bring a camel back, I would advise to not put anything on your back. It’s so much more comfortable to have all your stuff on your bike, for ventilation and also your back and shoulders.
Succes en veel plezier!
