I just wake up before unplanned week trip.
So these guys asked me about 2 weeks ago if I want to ride to slovenia. I asked my boss got few days off and then I found out more about the trip - spoiler they didn’t know anything, wanted to cover 170km/day and other insane things.
I convinced them to change plans to sth realistic and that made me leader of this group, which isn’t ideal because I didn’t want to plan or deal with it.
We will go south on EV 13 from Břeclav to I don’t know and take train home.
Wish me luck.
Right now I am at campsite, family of 6! has bike touring holiday and we set up tent right next to them.
So we already aren’t the biggest bike group here.
Awesome, love seeing families on tour.
Hope you guys get to keep it fun too after rough start!
The bike looks like it will fall apart in few km, the guy told me right now that he wants to ride on it another 100km tomorrow.
It doesn’t look like this time I will convince him that it is bad idea. Me and my friend wants to leave them and ride about 150km home after we visit Vienna tomorrow (it will probably be easy day).
And the 150 km isn’t insane we will climb about 200m and it is asphalt.
Good luck :)
When are you going to start, like today?
Just leaving, I hope that I will post update in few days.
Awesome, again good luck, good weather and have fun!
I will need it lol.
I usually like reading stories where shit happens the best ;)
First stop. On second I hope that I can change one of these bikes at my home cca half way for my old bike with rack and it is 28’ not 26’ as the guy with backpack has.
Oh man that looks already like it’s going to be a fun time! Big group!
There are 5 of us, already there was first blood. Guy with backpack fell (fortunately he carries less gear), my bike didn’t worked out so he will have to deal with it.
And we have pretty good pace downhill so I think it will be about 100km today.
Stories where shit hits the fan - centering wheel on the camp spot wasn’t on my bingo card but it wasn’t unexpected.
The guy has also totally stretched chain so drive train is bad too… We just scratched route and will probably go to Bratislava then Vienna and home.
