Today is a great day because it’s the day I bought a plane ticket to Europe for my next bike adventure. This year I’m joining three of my best riding buddies from last years Paris Dakar adventure. I’m flying to Amsterdam on August 27 and we’ll take the train to just north of the northern edge of Italy on August 31.
Unlike my recent bike adventures, this time we’re going self-supported. It will be very light-weight “credit card” touring. The route is on the adventurous side, with lots of dirt and gravel. It’s called Italy Unite Wild Trail. It’s about 2,000 km long with 35,000m climbing.
I love having big goals like this to plan for and look forward to, but the best part of this trip will be simply spending a month with the most amazing guys: Wytze, Andrew and Daniel. I’ve known Wytze and Andrew since 2019 when we met in Quito, Ecuador. I met Daniel in Paris last year. We’re from four different countries but we travel very well together!

Looks like an amazing adventure. How long is your estimate it take to go all the way? I’m glad you are set to go on your next adventure. It’s very pleasant to be in Italy. I was there for two weeks in April. The dream team looks great. Have fun and take care
