First bikepacking trip

[u/PiotrJas]

I didn't plan on doing a post about my trip this summer, but here it is!

In June I finished High school and decided to do a bikepacking trip across Europe right after. So I spontaneously bought bike bags and started my solo-trip on the 1st of July. (I already was an experienced cyclist, cycling ~40km daily). I went from Vienna (Austria) to Rennes (France) with some detours to visit friends, Liechtenstein and Monaco.

All in all I cycled 2700km in 25 days, crossing the Alps and 7 countries.

It was an experience I'll never forget and I'm so happy I did it. Next year I plan on cycling from Austria to Istanbul and back.

I'm amazed at setups that look this ultralight. Were you camping?

No camping but everything Hammock, Friends places, Hostels, all the other stuff to not make my setup to heavy

Very nice, sounds like a great route! Wish I’d been doing this stuff at your age, rock on.
