Bikepacking the European Divide Trail in 2023
On 28 May 2023 Geert embarked on a long bikepacking on the newish ‘European Divide Trail’. Starting from the very North East of Europe to its deep South West.
Geert started his ride in Grense Jakobselv in Norway, on the shore of the Barents Sea, and bordering Russia. He finished the EDT ride in Cabo Saŏ Vincente, near Sagres in Portugal, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Finally he rode further back into Spain and France, and on to his old country - the Netherlands. A ride that had to be abandoned because of horrid weather in Spain and France.
He rode his strong steed ‘Bomba’ and clocked over 11.000 kilometres with 95.000 meters of climbing.
