Building strength

45-60 mins indoor cycling might not seem like a lot to brag about when going across a continent is the final goal?
But with a clever plan in mind these ”small” steps combined with longer rides further on will create a solid base for us during the ride Astoria - New York.
And as the saying goes ”Rome wasn’t built in one day”.

Pieces fall into place...one after another...and it´s still 17 months until go-time.

Well well well!!

Saturday morning we set off for Gothenburg and Trek Store Gothenburg to pick up our bikes they built for us.
Can’t imagine a better start to the weekend!
So excited that I just happened to bring cycling clothes so I could ride the bike home if the weather wasn´t too bad.....it wasn´t, so I had a 70 km ride within a few hours of buying the bike!
Adrenaline rush de luxe!

The bikes are the biggest purchase so far, and probably the biggest for this whole adventure, not even the flights will get this expensive....

Happened to order panniers online as well....panniers means bags that we will carry all the stuff in on our bikes. 2 x 20 L should be enough for three months on the road...huh?
