  1. I also came across two obstacles today:

    The first one is a river crossing with a very sandy overgrown bank. Practically impossible to traverse. Apparently this is part of a mountain bike route and a bicycle route on OSM. I can't imagine this being fun to traverse even by mountain bike. So I edited OSM to make this bit impassable.

    The second one is a blocked road. I squeezed past the gate and only one of the three workers looked at me irritatedly...

  4. Day 1: Bologna - Imola

    ↔️ 55.3 km ↗️ 24m

    Easy first leg of the trip. Separated bicycle lanes for the first 10km or so leaving Bologna, cool! Too narrow at times and not in the best shape maintenance-wise, but seems to be used by a lot of cyclists of all kinds!
    Imola seems to be quite a sleepy unspectacular town, though that could also have to do with the thunderstorms of today. Makes me wonder what it would be like on a Formula 1 race weekend.

  7. Day 0

    More Bologna: The porticoes (arched walkways) remind me of Bern (they are also a UNESCO world heritage). Apparently there is a tram under construction, unfortunately not running yet. Public transport is definitely an area where this city can improve a lot. Also, the city centre is lacking green spaces. There's hardly a tree to be found. Overall, highly recommend it though. But visit when it's cooler...

  12. One of the best photo / cycling books I’d not heard of until a friend lent me his copy.

  17. Day -1

    Bologna: Impressive historic centre with big old medieval towers, the usual big churches and the oldest university in the world (the "original" university).

  22. Alright, I think I have all my bike touring stuff assembled! A few items not shown because they are at my parents.

  23. Dat 4: Continued along the coast, on a small road up to Bandon and the back to Hwy 101. Got some nice views at state parks along the shore. Got a motel in Port Orford because there was big rain predicted.

  24. I did a final review of our tentative route through the French Alps. One week from now, we'll depart Geneva! bkrtr.de/5KerO I think the route may be a bit overambitious, but there are plenty of options for cutting out some of the climbing and distance.

    Question for the @bikerouter pros: Is there a function to split up an existing route into shorter segments? I didn't see anything in the documentation.

  25. Less than a week before I head out for a bike tour in the French Alps. Which provided some extra motivation to finish editing another video from our 2024 trip. Day 8 was the shortest day in terms of distance but nonetheless had highlights like the Passo di Pura and the Sauris reservoir and valley. Just amazing stuff. youtube.com/watch?v=rb-7hQOUL70

  26. First night out on my trip to Reno.. Found a sweet campsite in the Siuslaw National Forest, off a closed-to-motor-vehicles road.

  27. Ich glaube, nächstes Jahr muss ich mir nicht nur die #SPEZI sondern auch die #Bespoked in Dresden "antun":

  28. Ended up with 75km, in 3 hours and 49 minutes. And 1331m of ascending. Tomorrow's route is 103km and 2255m of ascending the weather forecast is about the same with a bit more sun.
