When I first bought a racing bike, it wasn\u2019t my intention to travel with it for several days. In my (sport-oriented) circle of friends, friends and I went on trips for weeks at a time. Alps<\/a> or the Pyrenees<\/a>. With a tent, in an apartment or luxury in a hotel. Bikepacking wasn\u2019t yet hip back then. I first heard about the existence of \u2018La Marmotte\u2019 and \u2018the Maratona\u2019. When they asked me if I wanted to go along, I always replied: \u2018I\u2019m not crazy, right?\u2019 How different it is now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
