My-XPDTN: Eurobike bikepacking to Jeroboam Czech Republic

Not that you can actually "bikepack" around Eurobike, but it can always be a good excuse to do a side trip on the area, as our Colombian friend Juan Pablo Ortiz did this year, and also take the opportunity to ride in one of the 3T- Jeroboam events, check his photo gallery here.

Each year I have to assist to Eurobike in the south of Germany, so I always plan a bikepacking trip nearby.

At the same time, this year I was invited by 3T to the Jeroboam Gravel Bike event at the Czech Republic, sponsored by WTB,  so I decided to go from Eurobike to the event by bike. Good Challenge: 830km with +12.550m in five days, to be able to arrive on time to the event and complete the ride of 160kms with +3000m.

 

 

I planned the trip from a route published in bikepacking.com (the “Transgermany” route ). Most of the time, the route is in small paths and single tracks.

Bad news. I was able to ride 310kms with +5500m in the 5 days, so I had to take a train from Nuremberg to the Czech Republic to be able to arrive at the event on time.

Fire, friends, and beer after the ride. All I needed to finish this cool trip, see you next year, Europe!
