This all adds up to where I stand today. And that’s a lot further than I could have imagined in Januari this year. Because I started this journey only eight months ago. Then, I could hardly walk for a couple of hours. By now, I had a 174 km ride in a single day. Back then, I weighed around 20 Kg more then today. At my heaviest, that’s even about 50 kg difference.

Those first 30 Km on the trike felt like a big win. And yet, Doing more then 130 km in one go a little while ago, didn’t even feel as a limit. It made me wonder what’s really possible.

Just a short message to let all of you know there’s a video of the tour I did with the Belgian HPV club. Johan van Benthem has recorded some beautiful parts of the ride, including some great shots of yours truly. Enjoy.

Today I went for a shorter ride. Just over 56 km, to visit a cousin. I’ve been having a little issue with my body.

DID I JUST DO A TOUR?

Let’s start with the answer: Yes I did it… I think?

I’ve gotten to know the bike packing community as a rather close and welcoming one in the short time i’m cruising in it. Yesterday, I posted about the steps I’m taking towards my first tour

I’ve mentioned it before. I want to go on tours one day. And if I could, I would embark on the first one today. But I’m sure it wouldn’t be the most epic ride.

I’d been wanting to visit the Trike Shop in Zonhoven for a while now. People kept telling me what a great guy Yvo is, and how happy he is to share the tons of experience he has.
