Dr. Professor Fred Rococo<p>This June, many people raced the self-supported, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/bikepacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bikepacking</span></a> race, the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/TourDivide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TourDivide</span></a>. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/QuindaVerheul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QuindaVerheul</span></a> was one of those people.

The most innovative security involved a person rather than a device.</p><p>We visited the Kasteel Brouwerij Vanhonsebrouck in Emelgem, Belgium, where Kasteel beer is brewed.

kc posch<p>We had intensive training today: Rain clothes on -- off -- on --... It started raining while the sun was still shining. Then we hit this fantastic place on Lake Siljan south of Mora, Sweden. 5 minutes after I took this photo, it rained again. Most of our today's ride with the Bromptons between Mora and Rättvik was on gravel roads and led through forests.

We are currently on a multi-day tour with our Bromptons from Sala to Idre, Sweden. Today, we bicycled along the beautiful river Dalälven. Rain was threatening all day long, but did not materialize. We are now in Borlänge, where the guys from the unsupported bicycle race Northcape4000 will come through in the next hours and days.

Spent a quiet rest day at Skogar after taking the bus into and out of Reykjavik Monday and Tuesday (which included tweaking my bad knee again). Hopefully these side trips are done with. The plan is to cycle to Vik tomorrow and hop a bus to Hofn Friday, which addresses a number of issues. #Iceland #bikepacking
