Check out my Komoot collection of all my rides put together. https://www.komoot.com/collection/1939742/-vietnam-completed
I rode on 23 days. A couple of days i did a couple of rides. I was pleased to get 2000kms done. I had packed the bike away and looked at the Komoot collection and it said 1995kms. But i had not noticed the 7kms to the bike shop had not regestered yet. Otherwise I would have been stuck with just not quite there.
Just over 10,000m of climbing is pretty light. But 87 kms a riding day average is ok.
When looking back at the start of the trip i can now hardly remember how bad i felt. And how many days i spent not really wanting to move, for any kind of trip it would have been the same, being ill is being ill 🤷♂️.
Having to catch up was a bit of a tough gig. But this is what makes it an adventure. Being protected and supported at all and every turn would be like a living hell for me. It would rip any kind of adventure out of the trip.
But for me that is what makes the trip an adventure.
I was in a cafe this morning and it occured to me that i had not been to Spain 🇪🇸 for a year or so. I have put it into my brain that I should try to leave Skyros near the end of February and hightail it there. Why not? 🤷♂️ Then try to do the Badlands Gravel route. Of course all this is dependent on the weather.
Hopefully the routes shoukd all be in this link.”To Spain” https://www.komoot.com/collection/1264513/-to-spain
À bientôt
