Name: Leona Kringe
Residence: Germany
Year of Birth:
Bike: Bombtrack Beyond
Riding period: May 2022 to June 2022
Most favourite part: Portugal, Spain & France. Especially Sierra de Segura & Montanas Vacias – so definitely the regions with an high amount of climbing. Would have preferred to ride the whole southern section back to Portugal instead of riding flat up north 😉
Random thoughts:
Always two coffees, one for the bike, at least also one for me. Step by step. Wile descending, can we go up & climbing again?
Step by step. 1/2 kg Ice cream for breakfast is possible (as long as its hot enough).
40k before breakfast can be a very long time (while riding the European Divide Trail).
Its never over until its really over.
Never underestimate the trail – it will show up its trickiness twice again.
& Du kannst alles werden, was Du willst. Alles? Ja, alles. Und allen voran ganz besonders: Du selbst.

Just excellent. Congrats on finishing! Would love to hear abt some of the details on both the planning as well as the journey itself (supply points? wild camping experiences in different countries? Is flying to Kirkenes really the only option or can it be avoided? etc.)
Herzliche Gratulation Leona. Was für eine Reise und was für eine Leistung. Hut ab und Respekt!!!
