3 days bikepacking/camping from Hook of Holland down to Ghent and beyond. First time riding in Netherlands and it’s just so easy and chill. Well, apart from when you have extreme headwinds and intermittent rain hitting you from every angle.
Gear:
Bike – Specialized Diverge 2021 Base E5 with some upgrades here and there. Might be the last trip on this thing as I’m looking to replace it with something a bit more suited to my type of riding.
Saddle bag: Ortlieb
Frame bag and top tube bag: Wizard Works
Stem bag: Restrap.
Front rack: Old Man Mountain Divide
Fenders: Portland Design Works

Could you develop ?
Ohh amazing, so flat!! I went from Blegium to the North Coast of France for my first ever bikepacking trial and was soo frustrated. Headwind all the time and ALSO when I turned around to go back a couple days later 😂 How do you deal with frustration?
