Pamper shorts and waterproof tests

We weren't sure (and still aren't) about the quality of our tent. Therefore we used the water hose to test it. It did pass the water test, but the day afterwards one of the tent pegs broke...

When we tell our friends that we are leaving for France on bicycles, one of the first question is: Ouch! Dont you think your ass will hurt tremendous?

We also had some concerns about this issue and therefore we were happy to see that bicycling pants have built-in pampers :)

Preparations

When we got the idea for the trip we didn't have anything at hand, so during three weeks we have prepared everything. We have bought bicycles, sleeping bags, ground sheets, water bottles etc. Basically everything you can think of! We will try to post a list later of everything that we have packed. Stay tuned! :)

The Victorious Plan

Sammy and me, Jenny, have decided to bicycle from Häggvik, Stockholm to Bordeaux in France during the summer 2012.
According to the mighty google maps, the route is around 2500km. We hope to reach Bordeaux within five weeks, but if we realize that we won't make it, we will try to swallow our pride and take a bus.
On our way we will pass Trosa, Karlskrona, Malmö, Trelleborg, Rostock, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Bryssels and Nantes. For a more detailed overview, check out the following link: Resväg

Wish us luck!
