There is a first time for everything. Having enjoyed countless daytrips with the kids trailer we felt ready to embark on a two day bikepacking trip, with a tent sleepover. A great way to close out on the birth leave of our second kid. With a new tent and old sleeping equipment, we plotted a route. Purposely we choose (some) unpaved roads – even on the well organized Dutch cycling paths, sharing the road with cars is never fun. And especially not with a kids trailer.
The seed for a gravel bike was planted.
Reminder: nights in May may be cold.
