This is what I packed for my 7-day ~450 km bike-packing trip across the north of the Netherlands. #bikingtour
Good morning. It is 10:00 a.m. on the 28th of September. It’s a Sunday. It’s my final day on the road. I am riding in the mist this morning. It’s very cold. I have a lot of layers on and trying to keep myself warm. Um today I am writing riding writing riding from Hatutam to Yamra where I started this trip uh 7 days ago. So I’m excited. It is my longest day. It’s just over 85 kilometers which is about 10 kilometers more than what I’m used to. Uh yesterday was 65 and by the end of yesterday my knee and my hip were kind of giving me a lot of grief. So we’ll see how my body fares today. I didn’t take any painkillers yesterday so that was good. I took one this morning just in case. I’m hoping to find somewhere to stop for coffee this morning. Uh probably around midday. I packed some nice cheese and chocolate sprinkle sandwiches to give me some energy. And right now I’m riding along the dyke. There’s a I think it’s Is it a river? I never know if it’s rivers or canals. I think this is a river. It’s hard to see anyway. Um and I’ll be going through quite a lot of forested areas. My route is a bit longer cuz I’m skipping the per which would have been more of a direct route but it would have been very flat and boring. So yeah, taking a bit more of the scenic route. Anyway, thanks for listening and see you
