Hi Jungs and Deerns, I'm about to roam through europe again. This time I plan to go to Manchester, which should be much more doable than Helsinki two years ago.This time, hopefully, I can stay calm. Man, I felt so bad last time, I had to cancel my last tour after two weeks and was left in a very bad mood for a few more weeks.
This time it's quite difficult to start going. After I did all the repairs for my bike I noticed a crack in the frame. Bike shops these days are quite busy and some of them aren't very reliable. I have that stuff planned for August now, so I accepted the challenge.
I started looking for solutions and finally got a frame that fits my setup. That's what I first thought. After I moved all parts I noticed some don't fit anymore and I started ordering new parts twice a week for the last 3 weeks.

| Thanks Flo, for shooting me in my pants (no pants, just puns)! |
I finally got my old/new bike going even though it's still having a very serious issue which I try to fix on my way, ... good luck me!
I decided to revert back to full analog for navigation. I noticed during my last trip, looking at my cell phone all the day won't get me on the track.No space issues this time neither, I take my trailer with me again. It may sound crazy, but riding with a trailer forces me to go with a slower pace which actually worked well for me on my trip to Porto.
Last but not least I plan to post regularly. For that I have to rethink what happened to me the day before, and as a result, I hope, helps me letting go of all the stuff that's keeping my stress level high.
