I guess it's finally time for new thread. what are your touring plans for 2025? cooking up some months long big adventure or just few small trips every now and then?maybe you're already on a tour or just finished one recently?I'll be going across the Europe to Santiago de Compostela, starting in April.
i'm planning to visit my sister in varna this year
Last year I did the mini tour (?) of Mindanao that I planned which was a short 300km ride for 2 days. Komoot sucks balls when it comes to planning and giving accurate gradients.It was really fun and was surprisingly safe and I was lucky enough not to bump into rebels and such. I'll be planning another one soon but idk how it'll go. I found out I need time to prepare.
>>2032041you can't properly bike in romania, you're liable to get run over. from what I could research, there is a rich bike path network in germany, austria and it goes along the danube all the way to hungary, and there are some safe roads in hungary and serbia as well, but romania has none of those. I suppose if you stay on the very small roads you won't encounter a lot of traffic and heavy vehicles, but you can't avoid the main roads completely. you can take the train here and there, that's what I would do if I were you. and the serbian border / danubian region is a death trap, it's a very scenic route and I've wanted to do it for a long time, but the winding road offers poor visibility to the retarded speeding drivers and it's very dangerous, I advise against it, which is a shame since the views are superb.also you're going to get obliterated by romanian mosquitos in the summer, try doing it in may when it's not too hot out, and you can actually ride without sweating like a pig.
