My brother is getting married in #Oslo in a little over three weeks. In absolute disregard of the limits of what I'm capable of I decided to fly to #Rome with my #bike, to see if I can make it up there in time. I want to climb over the #alps. I want to experience #Italy on a #bicycle. #Germany and #Denmark are in the way so I have to do those too. After living in the US for four years I need to re-experience European bicycle infrastructure. #Eurovelo here I come. #bikepacking #midlifecrisis
Day 19-21, and with that the trip, complete! I made it to Oslo as planned. 19 days of riding, 2 rest days. Total distance 1,880 miles or 3,025km, total elevation gain 71,251 feet or 21,717 meter. Rome to Oslo in as straight a line as I could make. It's been a wild and wonderful ride, a real adventure. Norway was wet, windy, chilly, hilly, and wild, and I loved every second. The final wild camp was under a moonlit sky. Body and bike has both held up admirably. The wedding was also a success!
