ABOUT ME

LET’S MOVE THE HORIZONS!
GIBRALTAR 2013

As soon as the last school bell rings we will forget about our everyday reality and set off to lasting over a month bicycle expedition. We would like to spend the whole days on travelling through Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy, France, and Spain to finally reach the corner of Europe. During this time we will cover Tatra mountains, High Tatras, Alps, and Pyrenees. We will go through infinite plains and mountain passes, we will sleep in a tent and cook meals on our own. Every day, thanks to the force of our muscles we will move the horizon We will have to cover almost 3500km to reach our final destination – Gibraltar.
The experience tells us that the more long-lasting the expedition is, the less reasonable planning of the route is. GPS on the wheel isn’t something that we really want.
We will just take several paper maps, and every day at breakfast we will decide which way we are going. We were doing exactly the same during our previous expeditions through Poland, and this time the procedure won’t be much different. Every day of our adventure will be written down; Moreover, we will be trying to inform YOU regularly about the progress of our journey .

Why bikes?

We have spent beautiful moments on the bikes, and cycling is one of our passions. At the same time it’s the cheapest, the most eco-friendly mean of transport;] Bike is our everyday life, it accompanies us in our way to school, work, and during shopping. Every free moment we spend on our saddles covering more and more kilometers. What’s more, we would like to infect others with our passion and show that cycling is a great way of spending free time;]

Preparing for an expedition

We still have over a month to go, however, we are already almost ready;p. For the sole purpose of expedition we invested money in new bikes, travelling bags, pumps, tubes, wheelarms, and many other necessary accessories. Unfortunately, our previous old bikes (especially the blue Giant ) happened to be too much exploited after last expedition to Slovakia. After a thought we decided to purchase two white Merida bikes. When it comes to our body condition, since spring we have covered almost 2000km. Additionally, we go jogging regularly what allows us to stay in shape the whole year. We plan to cover 100km per day that seems to be a safe distance considering the length of the whole journey.

The costs….

Since one of us / Sylwia/ is still a student, it’s not easy to raise funds for such a long trip. We hope that there is someone who will support us and help to move our own horizon proving that “want” really means “be able to”

Since it’s our first such a long trip, we’d like to find a patron of our expedition.
