I'll have two weeks off and several coworkers have asked me whether or where I will be this time and now I feel a bit pressure now... :thisIsFine:

In fact I plan to go on a 4 day trip by bike, then continue by van for some hiking and then move forward to Bavaria to walk the dog and plaster the garage. :flipdog:

Plans are made.

I want to buy a saddlebag to be mounted on my mountainbiken. I am thinking of buying the Topeak Backloader X. (the 15 liter version)

Has anyone experience with this item. Tips/comments why I should or should not buy this one are welcome.

After only 3 months of use, the seat post breaks at the transition to the saddle.

Wtf.

Warranty claimed and fortunately only rode a few km back without saddle

Have to take the bus to work now.

We’re on day 3 of our bike tour! Already done around 230 km through France over the past 2 days and this morning. It’s a fast pace but we’re loving it. So far the has held up well. Next part of the tour, England!

Lyons and its 60km of concrete suburbs: done 🥵

We're back to nature. It's beautiful, yet hostile. The sun is burning, and I've been bitten by a tick. Yesterday was not our best day, to be honest 🤕

But I'm happy to still be able to pedal after more than 300km in 6 days 😤

Yesterday was our biggest day: 70km done, for a total sum of 200km since our departure at Geneva. Good news, we should reach Lyon today 😎

Starting the moment we left Savoy 3 days ago, the landscape has stayed the same: wide and abrupt valleys, crop fields, old villages on hills, and from time to time a factory or a nuclear plant.

Day 2 of my road trip from Geneva all along the Rhône 🚵‍♀️

We have done 80km so far. The first day in Switzerland was really cold and rainy, and we had to sleep in the wild just before the French border. As each time I sleep in the forest, I had these weird nightmares of boars entering my tent 😨🐗

Second day was much better, with sun, flatter roads, and... the Rhône!

I bought a very small solar panel to see how it fares for keeping electronics charged while or .
It's small enough to fit on top of my handlebar bag, had a USB-A connector, and according to reviews should have an output of about 3W. That's not a whole lot but may be sufficient to keep my GPS and part of a smartphone powered.
Worth a try for $20. amzn.to/43SKDgV

On the second part of the route (35 kilometres) I got wet. Really, really wet. Now I'm on the train back to Freiburg. I have some nuts and beer.

Very much looking forward for dry socks! 🧦
