Hi really enjoyed your vlogs! I have a few questions... What month/months were you on the route. Where did you end the tour, did you do the entire route through to the Hook of Holland? How many days in total did you take to complete? How many days camping and were the campsites empty enough just to turn up or did you pre-book? Would you recommend this route to someone who has never undertaken a long distance ride? Thanks!

I have a daily blog here: etischer.com/eurovelo23/ We rode Aug 5th - 23rd with a couple rest days in between. Our route was Oberalppass to Cologne, with a few detours (Colmar, Heidelberg...) 720 miles over 16.5 days, about 44 miles/day. We brought a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, stove, pot... never used any of it, we just stayed in a hotel each night. It wasn't worth a night of bad sleep trying to camp, plus hotels in these smaller towns were really cheap. We pretty much biked until 6pm, or if we found a really cool city to check out, then looked up hotels. This worked out really well, such a great feeling setting out each morning with no set destination, no goal, no limits, just bike till the sun goes down or our legs get tired. We are not very experienced bikers, totally doable for a novice, just start preparing a couple weeks in advance, get you butt used to sitting on a saddle, and your neck used to looking up all the time. My cousin only bought her bike a month before the trip, and it was just a $400 REI Coop bike. When you have all day, and you bike at a slow steady pace, you can bike all day, especially with lots of places to stop and eat along the way. I have strava maps showing the elevation and mileage each day on my blog linked above to give you an idea of the biking effort.

0k Nice Setup but Where are your Pannier Racks front and Rear? Its a Touring Bike right?

[@etischer]

The rear pannier rack is attached to the back of the bike in the entire video. The two front cargo cages I put in the box @3:28. I made my own cargo cages instead of using pannier and rack since it is lighter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmG9pp2YhsStm7s
