Stories from the road
A collection of stories I wrote while on the road or that are about certain bike-packing routes.
-
Cycling back the long way round. Getting caught in the rain in Norway so I decided to go back to my favourite country: Sweden. Seeing familiar sights in Denmark before meeting up with my dad and completing a European road trip the way it started: Together.
-
A new plan! Riding back home on a leisurely pace, enjoying my moments on the bike and explore Norway.
-
The final stage of the European Divide Trail that took me 7700km across Europe. An emotional and satisfying end to a route that has brought me so much joy.
-
Sweden comes to an end, and with it, The European Divide Trail. With just a short section through Finland and Norway left I’m now almost at the end of Europe. But not before sleeping on reindeer hide, camping near lakes and crossing the Arctic circle.
-
The Scandinavian leg of the European Divide Trail. Sweden is a true outdoor paradise and it is perfect for a wilder adventure. Wildcamping, skinny dipping in lakes and cooking over open fire. Sweden has it all.
-
Having no expectations for Denmark it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. No epic climbs or muddy tracks but just a joy to cycle. Amazing wild camping shelters and lots of viking remains to see.
-
Germany is an exciting milestone country during the European Divide Trail. Not only is it officially halfway but at the end of this I’ll be in Scandinavia!
-
Having crossed the border with France, the trail now takes me through vineyards and besides rivers before getting stuck in vosges because of mud. France never disappoints!
-
Riding through endless rows of olive trees to eventually conquer Spanish Mongolia and ending with a lush crossing into France. The European Divide Trail has now fully begun!
-
The first two weeks of the European divide trail. A 7700km off-road route across Europe. The adventure starts here!
