Trail Update #2: A cycling trip from southwestern Poland to Romanian coast

An evaluation has been done on our upcoming trip to Romania.

After spending few hours on bikemap.net I was able to make a draft of the trail. The total distance evaluates to about 2165 km and consists of 23 single routes. Each route is supposed to be ridden in a day.

A quick reminder

My friend Hive account@danielw and I are doing a bike trip from southwestern Poland all the way down to Black Sea and documenting each step of the way. We believe that by sharing every twist and turn of our trip and how we dealt with it, we will deliver content, both informative and entertaining, that will serve as a traveler guide.

Trip highlights

• an average of 100 km per cycling day,
• rural roads,
• free accommodation: camping, Couchsurfing etc.,
• non-tourist destinations,
• sharing the best tips and the best views;

Objectives

Our goal is to educate and inspire fellow travelers from around the world to get on their bikes. At the same time we would like to make it easy for beginners to jump onboard by showing that anyone can become a traveler.
