1. The plan

What is the plan?

A bicycle trip around Europe from Haparanda, Sweden, through Finland and Eastern Europe down to the Mediterranean Sea. Then westward to Portugal and north along the Atlantic coast until I reach Haparanda again. Phew!

Really? Yes.

Why? To see new places and meet awesome people! A sidequest on this RPG is to reach a BMI below 25 (500 Xp).

How? Biking on my Crescent bicycle, "The Golden Ram", with my old, tried and tested camping equipment.

This sounds expensive.

Food is the only thing I need to buy. Plus replacing gear as needed. And I plan to find work along the way. Maybe a lithuanian farmer needs help with digging up potatoes? Or injecting steroids into his grumpy old bull named Jurgis.
