RE: Cycling towards the sun – the second week of bikepacking through France

in Cycling2 years ago

Now I see your tent. I like it that you mix the train with cycling. What do you cook along the way? What do you do to have access to water? I can't wait to see the next post. This is so interesting.

Sort:  

😊 Water is from taps or from the shop, there is no way around buying food and water almost everyday... And sometimes the food is awesome and sometimes just bread (which can be awesome too😂) but stuff like risotto and any thing that can be cooked in one pot, and a lot of croissants and coffee😊

I had thoughts of you foraging for some things along the way 😂, but there's no crossiant tree to pick from. Sounds like travel camping via bikes, a really wonderful experience.

😂 If I find the country with croissant trees I'll never leave!!
I would love too, but I guess my knowledge is limited... Nettles and thyme I encountered, I guess soon I could find some cherries too😊

What light crusty vision of trees that would be, 😂

my knowledge is limited

Yes, same for myself. I keep adding to what I know but still feel like I know very little. You found thyme? Wow! That doesn't grow wild here. Nettles are in abundance though. Cherries....oh, so YUM. What about wild strawberries?

🍓yes!! But so far only their flowers are out...

Yes, it's early but I think around end of June or early July here. Berries are always my favourite. The wild strawberries are so incredibly sweet tasting. Always liked them better than the farmed ones.

Always liked them better than the farmed ones.

100% yes, same with blueberries!! I never buy them, but wild ones I could have them everyday...:)
