MY-XPDTN: POST-BIKEPACKING BLUES

I don't always need a plan, sometimes I just need to let myself go with the flow and see where my Exploro takes me.

Text by Anna Barrero , photos by Oriol Simon - 12 September 2019
After 20 days in a row with a routine, yet traveling to many different places, something feels weird. I am happy to have finished this loop, but there’s something that I miss deep inside. I needed that rest, I needed to stop because I’m tired, but something feels kind of wrong. I’ve been feeding my soul with a daily experience and adventure and suddenly I everything stopped. I wanted to sleep without a bunch of snorers, I wanted to wake up without having to ride a single kilometer and just rest, I wanted this break, but maybe something deep inside was still yearning to try new things, and keep riding to new places, and meet new people.

So far 2000km +30000m ascent for 20 days in a row riding through mountain/gravel roads across many different conditions and landscapes in the north of Spain.

In normal conditions one would expect to read about the trip preparation, logistics, what to see and visit and the feelings during it, but let’s do it the other way. I first let you know my feelings after having finished this adventure,  and then you can ‘travel’ and ‘feel’ by looking at the pictures.  Feel free to ask me any question about this loop.
The good thing about my post- bikepacking blues is that they will be over as soon as I start planning my next adventure!
