Always like having a good side quest. I usually just stumble into them along the way, i have a few more, but here are some:

  • Hit up all the pump tracks. That one i do on every tour really, kinda surprised about how many bike pump tracks or skateparks i come across.
  • I started playing “don’t use the power bank” on a 2,5 week long tour. I lost this game on the 9th day, but only because i didn’t know there was a cafe a couple hundred meters further down the road. After i lost i wasn’t too keen on keeping on playing anymore, don’t really remember.
  • “Guess the Italian” - In the border regions to Italy i tried to guess number plates of overtaking cars before i could see them. I had no false positives, but a few false negatives. I was impressed by my guessing skills, or by the consistency of italian drivers. This game then somehow faded out in somewhere Italy i guess.

Anybody else got some side quests / mini games they’re playing?

    Oh that is nice. I definitely visit more cemeteries on tour than irl and somehow some tombstone inscription makes me imagine what was going on, kinda sentimental to have a drink there.

    Also when i’m in the most peaceful village and then there’s some war memorial remembering the people killed by the Germans there, that always bums me out so much, sadly these have to be found absolutely everywhere in Europe.
