bikepacking

bike + backpacking = bikepacking

Headed to Nice with a knapsack on my back tomorrow. Its a 342km journey so I'll have to break it up into 2 portions, from Gap to Digne Les Bains, and then onwards to Nice the day after.

Apparently this journey (in the reverse direction) was taken by Napoleon on his return from Elba. Interesting.

Anyway Ironman Nice's going to be held this Sunday; other than cycling down the Route Napoleon, I'll also be cycling the Ironman bike leg, swimming at Digne and Nice, (hopefully) running 30km along the Mediterranean coast, and helping out as a volunteer for the race.

Eat.Sleep.Swim.Bike.Run. Life is that simple. Really! =)
