Sleeping with the bike

There is always a first time ;-)

Many thanks to Pension Toscana, they opened the workshop and let me use the tools

Today I followed mainly the Eurovelo 4

No border

Slowakische Republik

Eurovelo 13 - Iron Curtain 

Tschechischen Republik 

1. Tag

Am ersten Tag nur 97 km, von Grossenzersdorf nach Lanzhot (in der Tschechischen Republik). Alles in Ordnung, die Beine funktionieren :-) aber leider hatte ich eine Reifenpanne auf die letzten km.

Auf die Plätze, fertig, los! 

Leider keine Fähre, Caronte war im Urlaub

Immer geradeaus!

ist aber gut !

Razione K

Bike set-up

New tires - Copertoni nuovi - neue Reifen

Schwalbe Marathon Plus

both in Norway and in Spain, after 3000 km I had to change the rear tire because it was complete worn out. This time I have choose these, let's see, they should be much better. 

 der Hinterreifen war aufgrund nach 3000 km aufgrund des schweren Gepäcks immer kaputt. Diesmal habe ich keine kosten gescheut :-) 

 di solito, raggiunti i 3000 km il copertone posteriore si tagliava sotto il peso del bagaglio, speriamo che questo sia più resistente, per sicurezza comunque mi porto uno di scorta.

Das Gepäck - Bagaglio

Almost ready, last check... just two o three things.

nur das Allernötigste :-)

Solo lo stretto indispensabile.

Bibliography

Weeks, a lot of maps and guides to study and plan the route... however I already know that at the first intersection I will take the wrong way :-)  

Settimane e decine di mappe per studiare minuziosamente il percorso... tanto poi al primo incrocio, si sa che sbaglio strada e poi si finisce col pedalare a vista come sempre.

L'itinerario previsto - GPS track on Google Maps

from Vienna to Tallinn, 3150 km by bicycle

 GPS track available on Google Maps

Tagliando alla bicicletta - Bike Service
