The Trip III - EV8 - Montpellier Barcelona

With an Interrail ticket and a bike bag I took the train from Strassbourg to Montpellier. From there I have followed EV8 and in Spain the Pirenexus bike ways to reach Barcelona. I ride night and day as long as I am fit enough to be on the bike, take short rests, take short naps during the day when and where it is warm. I love night rides, especially along coasts and beaches. Being in motion in the coldest hours of the day makes tents or sleeping bag unnecessary. When totally exhausted (after 2-3-4 days, depending on the difficulty of the route) so that I am already too stupid to ride, I take the closest cheap hotel and recharge the body, the soul and the power banks. I am a minimalist, I try to carry as few things as possible to keep the bike light. In France it is possible to wash and dry clothes in every town so I can only take a few sets of clothes, a 20l backpack is enough. Being light has its advantages.
