Moin

This is where I try to keep track of different things I do in preparation for my next bicycle tours. Which is mostly training and learning Danish. Sometimes planning and buying or sewing new gear.

You can read about my last tours here: 2019, 2020summer, 2022autumn , 2022, 2023, 2024

When I got back from my last tour, I photographed what was in each bag and pannier, so today my front/handle bar bag:

In here I had my headphones: the ones for my iPhone and the Aftershokz I like to use while cycling.

My Notebook with the maps where I marked what we cycled that day. The maps in the weatherproof sleeve on top of the bag. The power-bank I connect to the dynamo hub.

A danish dictionary, my edixxa camera, another power-bank for charging the phone/headphones. Some more hair elastics, a band to lock Charlotte’s front wheel, the torx key for the light, another pen.

Video/action cam and additional batteries for both. I sadly did not use either again, for now it is more than enough for me to take pictures and blog, I probably would have to stop or reduce that, so I would have the energy to film. Hopefully that will change again. Until then, what do you think? Are daily and long blogposts better, or should I prioritize videos? Depending on that decision I probably would leave the cameras home next time…

All other things I will probably bring again.

The next weeks I will keep sharing what I had in my panniers, what I used, what not, what I will replace or add for the next tour, and what I will leave home next time. Do you have special requests, interests, wishes, what you would like to know about me or my gear? Please do not hesitate to ask! I will include it in my posts.

Disclaimer: I bought every piece of gear with my own money and also never received any money to write about them, the opinions are entirely my own.

Weekly preparations:
