Hey. I'm planning some trips in the spring time in Europe, with my gravelbike. What do you wear and what manufacturer do you recommend. I really don't know what is best, to have a jacket that is windprooforver a short Jersey, or a long jersey with a rainjacket? I really want to go for race fit style.

Sounds like an great adventure you had there. Have you been away since? Sounds like you got some good experience to giv to the younger riders. Thank you for your advice.

    I also did a handful of longer tours about europe back then too. Much of the tips I picked up related to travelling about in a world without mobile phones.

    These days I can't cycle for long periods since I damaged my shoulder. The discomfort just takes all the pleasure out of it.

    I'm sure you'll make many fond memories on your own journeys.

    Oh that's sad. But yir we have to listen to our body's sometimes. That's probably the best.

    I have been riding mostly in the warm periods, so getting out in the more cold weather, gives me more adventures I think. And that's it all about right 🙂
