Traveling by bike taught me many things. 

​

Take the essentials

Do not push your body to the limit, or you will not be able to continue the next day.

Stay hydrated, eat healthy, start your day early, so you will have rest time and muscle recovery during the afternoon.

Everyone has their travel pace, 30km at 50km per day is a good distance.

Take short breaks of 10 minutes every 5 km. 

Do not let your body cool down while you are travelling.

​

Remember to stretch your body before and after each session. 

​

Eat lightly and often during the day. At night abundant and hot dinner.

Listen to your body, and if the weather gets bad, look for a campsite or shelter, and continue when it gets better.

​

And most importantly, ENJOY every kilometer, landscape and moment. They are unique
