Yeah, I think you also know what incident I might be talking about here. I don't wanna get dragged into it though.
It was a hard choice with my bike but I needed something that could take me a bit further off-road and also size-wise fitted me a tiny bit better. I always found myself limited from the more remote paths so I am building a bike packing setup now!
I am going to read your post right away actually, I'm curious on it!
Nice :) Cannot wait to see that beast ready :) (your new bike :D) Any epic biking plans for this year? Well, I mean after this craziness is over of course...
I am looking into the north now! Probably Denmark to Finland or something, that would be awesome with my new bike since Scandinavia has the most remote roads in the whole Europe!
That sounds awesome :) But only doable until late summer / early fall I guess :D Good luck buddy, I am already looking forward to all those posts.
Oh yeah that will be at max 5 months. Rest of the year is too damn cold up there haha
