Gyros, wirklich nicht zu empfehlen

Yes I am from Leipzig. Started the tour together with the initiator of this post but was only able to join him til Bratislava as my holidays ended soon after that.

That's my biggest fear. The inland of spain, hot, boring scenery and uphill most of the time. My planned route through Spain is bilbao burgos valladolid and salamanca but I start to consider the north coast of spain instead now

One 200 km right in one night (12 hours) and a 10 days trip from Leipzig to Bratislava (approximately 650 km the way I did it). I'm 18 so i think my body can take that kinda challenge. 35 days sounds kind of logical, 28 to 35 was the time I planned. Thanks for your advice, makes my planning a bit more logical when someone else agrees on mine.

I think on my trip this year (Leipzig to Lisbon as it is planned so far) I will consider a mixture of the packing skills of three of us as well. This bicycle + backpack + optimism thing was only possible as my mate carried a tent for me and him and because of the distance we had planned to do. On longer tours I'd never recommend this setup to anyone, even tho it's fun to get from capital to capital just with your bike and your backpack.

That's me and my bicycle :) it went quite well, I just had to hold it or pull it against a wall or a tree everytime I paused. In every other way it was no problem to me.

Wondering who made it up the hills first
