1.90 so yeah that’s about 11 feet in American I think :)

That’s why I’m taking it. Took a hardtail last year and it was … hard.
:) it’s also a really old bike - so only 26” wheels.
Lay all the things you need to take out. Take half of them and twice the money. Happy days. No - but it’s pretty easy to do laundry underway, so you will use fewer clothes than you expect. Still your ass or feet won’t thank you if you re-use sweaty cycle shorts or sock so ideally two pairs. Wear on wash one. And long trousers/shirt to wear on the evening. Feet can go in sandals (also good for dodgy showers) which will let them breathe. Oh and have fun. That’s the bit I sometimes forget.
You can spend a whole day in Terme Merano - it’s very nice
“Oh no - it’s our honeymoon and we have to stay in bed.”
I have a 5l kriega tank bag and a mount for each bike. It’s a good size for the important stuff. Straps are a bit fiddly but it’s useful.
You can do a lot with Rok Straps and a decathlon waterproof bag.
Cool cafe Also you are doing all this without suspension. I started a tour in Italy last year on my hardtail, but it was a bit punishing as the trails looked like yours. I’m going back in June. It taking my fully in touring-bike mode (tent on the front, drybag strapped below the saddle bag. I think it’ll be ok)( I just have to carry less)
Assos Mille GT C2 makes everything better
I think you should always ignore road closed signs on a bike - you can usually get past whatever obstructs the road and the whole section should be very peaceful. That mud looks like it should be very good for your skin too haha
Carbon but fully. Best of both worlds. And the last 26 in wheels in Europe
