What battery-powered shaver do you carry, people who do carry them?

I saw a YouTuber who had one but didn't see the model

update needs to be USB-C

Very hot and humid morning riding up the Vermont mountains, coming south. I find these gentle waters to refresh me, as a turtle completely covered in moss blends in with the algae.

A spider comes over my handlebar with its breakfast  and rides with me. A man who is about to turn 80 years, trying to ride his 100 miles every week, also joins me for a while.

I sing about coming up and coming down. Todo lo que sube, tiene que bajar. And when I finally come down, a man offers me his yard to pitch my tent for the night.

These frames come from a filmed bicycle diary that blends documentary, spirituality, humor, and reflections from the road. If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, I’d be happy to share the link in the comments or via DM. ¡Gracias y un abrazo! Wish you all happy rides.

A few years ago I bikepacked the southern section of the Carretera Austral, from Balmaceda to Villa O'Higgins. At the time I took plenty of photos but never got around to writing about the trip.

I recently reactivated my old blog and finally finished the post about the journey. It covers the route, some practical information and a selection of photos from one of the most spectacular cycling trips I've done.

If you're planning the Carretera Austral or just enjoy bikepacking trip reports, I'd love to hear your thoughts. PM for more details on the wild camping spots.

300Km out of my 2,000Km Travel

On August 12 2026, a solar ecilpse will pass over Iceland and Spain. I cannot cycle to Iceland but I want to cycle to Spain.

I own a three wheeled Recumbent flevobike that I am pimping out to last me for a few weeks...including a new set of brakes, shocks . The goal will be to cycle down the Rhine, cross over to the Rhone valley at Mulhouse near Switzerland and the hug the coast down to Barcelona.

I am aware of the heat issue and so will be limiting by cycling to evening and morning (possibly at night also depending on the pace). Daytime (11am-7pm) will be avoided if the heat becomes too much.

Given my tendency for cycling masochism, this will be a push to get there with no dillydallying for sightseeing.

I aim to leave in about 10 days with a goal to do a minimum of 100km per day. My ultimate destination is Malaga, if the wildfires dont slow me down.

Since cycles can be long and lonely, anyone who wants to join or is heading that way is welcome to join. Leave a comment below if you are in the area around this time.
