Learn from the pros

Doing this kind of adventure takes a lot of preparation, and a lot of it you can learn online on various sites, faceboook-groups etc but getting to listen to it live and direct from a real adventurer must be the best.

And this tuesday we got the opportunity to listen to some real great stories and experiences from a former colleague of mine at Nordic Wellness gym, Amanda Follin. (Btw, give her a follow on Instagram at @endorfinkliniken)
She rode her bike this past summer from Borås to Åre in the north....ah well...middle of Sweden, but it´s a 1000 km.
We were at a wildlife and adventure store called "Vildland" here in Borås and I must say I was really  impressed by both Amanda and "Vildland". There will be more visits to that place.

Amanda told the audience about her experiences when doing this bike-ride. Anything from having the right mind-set to fixing flats and what equipment you might need...or might not need.
She even explained that Compeed can fix saddle sores. Uselful information!
"You never told me it can hurt like that" my girlfriend an co-cyclist said afterwards...eh...well...no...because it´s like 30 years since I last had a really bad saddle sore.

If you get used to sitting on a saddle and equip yourself with the best possible bibshorts I guess things like that could be avoided.
