Hey folks,
today on here (the internet) time came to introduce and make quick launch a the my new project. Read further if interested, of course, in sponsorships and sharing more n' over, if course. Ty.
The plan is to start 1st of March from Nuremberg by bike, with a 4 season equipment round transcontinental whole of Europe down to the very South (Jbel Toubkal 4167m in Africa, Gibraltar) up to the very top (Northern Cape) and back (within 6-8 months) latestly 31th of October.

This became really look like of someone on the bike (mtb) could sourround Europe by building bridge in order to include Africa as a continent. Thus, the trip makes moves two continents more closely together. The my original plan was to cycle to Morocco in order to hike up until to the very peek of Toubkal. Then the idea grew and this the plan became born. Meanwhile preperation is done 1 month before launch. Actually I wanted to fly to Barca from Nuremberg, however, bought new equipment during the winter thus a light and warm sleeping-back and a the ultralight most modern sleeping-pad made that change, too. Optional Saint Petersborough is on the list, which depends on visa for the Russian Federation and time. Really, it is far and no need for a hurry, thus 100k a day is the pacing, having had to include days of rest and for action (in climbing, hiking, kajaking & experiencing culture besides of the long rides, 6-7hrs daily, in the saddle).
Thus, the high-lights will be the eight shippings by ferries, sure, the desert before the Atlas mountains in Morocco, Jbel Toubkal (4167m), sure enough surfing at Peniche & watching the surfers at Nazare, Santiago de Campostello for pilgrimage, spotting surfers in Spain again along the Atlantic coastline, next Cornwell, land's end, the castles in Wales, a Guiness or better two pints in Ire, Whisky in Scotland and being in the Northern Highlands, having to inspect Loch Ness, bars and join in karaokee again, Ben Nevis (1345 m), the long way-road up to the Cape, having had visited Bodo before and the Lofoten Islands. Cape after next is a boat-trip on lake of Inari, later on kajaking in Southern Finland I do look forward, too. A lot to do at such an adventure. Having set over form Helsinki to Tallinn a visit of the town of Tartu (Estonia) is on the shedule, maybe Saint Petersborough, too, that is 1000k extra on bike, and finally the long road back through territories far in the East of Europe heading Bratislava and thus the river of Danube with Bad Ischl in the very end, this way I'll have paid all the 3 top towns in culture of Europe a visit elected for this year 2024 by the international authorities.
Next weeks are enough time to get fit again by cyling at home. Thank you for your the attendance and in attention, stay tuned & healthy. Have fun as well!
