We didn't get any blisters with roller skiing, fortunately! So can't help with that.

Thanks!!

Omg, that are a lot of miles in only 90 days!

Hay un sitio con un numero de telefono bajo el video :)

Actually the swinging trailer isn't a burden at all. We got used to it very quickly and we don't feel the swing as it looks on the video :)

He! Don't doubt, just do it! We almost didn't do any research and didn't have any experience with canoeing. So you will manage ;). And financially it can be very cheap if you decide to not eat in restaurants and sleep in hotels 😊. It is such a beautiful trail!

We made a simple brake system ourselves and used these as brakes (budgetfietsonderdelen.nl/product/zwarte-remmen/) and these ones for the brake lever (www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/alhonga-remgreep-v-brake-links-3-vinger-zilver-zwart/9200000039428047/?bltgh=ifJhsbXfDMRdMvmeQIJCBQ.4_20.25.ProductImage). The steel plate we made in a workshop and we used crews to attach it to the trailer.

Thanks a lot! The main reason to choose roller skis was the use of ski poles. Off course, this is possible with cross skates as well, but it feels more logical with roller skis. Also, we had a one-way bearing in the back wheel which would make it easier to go in 'classic style' uphill. During the trip we realised we never used this.

@@WeLeaf Thanks for the answer :) although, as far as I know, poles are also being used with cross skates (like for example Skikes), as opposed to Inline-Skates

Wat leuk! Dat wordt ook voor jullie een prachtige tocht :)

Ik ga ''m ook weer rijden van 14 juni tot 7 juli

Hee!! That's so great to hear! Thank you so much for the kind words, and amazing to hear that you want to try cycling! You will love it!

Really! That's so cool! So great that you have set the date in your agenda. That's the most important step to make your dreams come true!

​@@WeLeaf omg I didn't think you would respond !!!! I was wondering if I should use a backpack or a trolley like what you have, for my journey... Could you please tell me some of the pros and cons. Thank you ❤🎉🙏

@@pierremiyamoto4490 Of course we try to respond! It really depends on what the purpose of your adventure is. Do you want to go fast and long? Do you want to go to remote areas? Are you going to capture your adventure with photos and video? We liked to use a trailer because we had a lot of camera equipment and enjoyed staying a couple of days in nature. Then we needed to be able to take enough food. A trailer is definitely heavier and you probably need a brake system like we used.

So great to hear that you are travelling on roller skis as well! It's about time to leave on a new trip for us. We miss it!

Thanks :)! And yes, long time since our last video.

Zin om mee te gaan :)?

Zou ik zeker willen!!@@WeLeaf

He Michael! Thank you so much for the kind words :)

Thank you so much Joe! It was an incredible adventure and a little bit crazy without having experience. But, it's possible and you don't have to be an expert to start new adventures :)

Olivier has fear of heights 😅

Thanks a lot! It is an amazing workout for the body :). We were definitely fit afterwards!

Hi! You can find our route on this website: www.google.com/maps/d/edit?hl=nl&authuser=0&mid=1H71mFdOkHButwSP7sDtcW0JAgLw

@@WeLeaf great ! thanks a lot !

So great to hear!

We weren't really happy with the classic wheel. We had problems with fixing it tight enough and ruined the screws. After a while we took them off and used regular wheels, also because we never used the classic style.

@@WeLeaf good info, thanks.

It starts in Old Forge, NY and ends in Fort Kent, MA. You can do it the other way around but that would be a lot of upstream paddling.

He Peter! Wij zijn er heel blij mee. We hebben geen ervaring met andere rollerski's dus we kunnen moeilijk een vergelijking maken, maar de 4.000 kilometer die we er tot nu toe mee gedaan hebben, zijn we er altijd blij mee geweest. Het enige probleempje dat we hadden, was met de lekke banden, maar dat was gemakkelijk op te lossen door meer druk in de banden te doen (meer dan op de bandjes zelf staat geschreven)

@@WeLeaf Bedankt, bestelling net geplaatst ;) Maar bedoel je dat je minder last hebt van lekke banden als je ze harder oppompt?

@@petervedder4848 Wij hadden last van lekke banden door wrijving tussen de binnenband en buitenband (dus niet door glas of andere gaatjes). Doordat we de binnenbanden veel harder oppompten, verdween deze wrijving en dus ook de lekke banden.

It's a Nordiccab trailer, a Norwegian brand (nordiccab.com/). We are using it for three years now, for skiing, cycling and roller skiing. Last winter we have used it every day. We have to walk 20 minutes through the snow to get to our house so we used to carry our food, wood, etc. And we used it on some ski adventures as well. The trailer is still in perfect condition!

Hee!! Wat ontzettend lief dat je zo'n mooie reactie schrijft over ons boek. Zo fijn om te horen. Dat doet ons heel veel plezier! Heel veel leesplezier met de rest van het boek :)!

He Jim! Wat leuk om te horen! Ga je ook roller skates kopen, of normale skates?

We use a tripod and a drone :)

You're right. But V2 is also extremely tough to do for 50 kilometers every day :p. So we actually only did V1 :)

He Dick! Wat leuk! Wij zijn met de fietsbus van Cycle Tours teruggegaan vanuit Avignon. Cycle Tours heeft verschillende fietsbussen met een grote trailer waar de fietsen netjes in worden opgehangen. Prima ervaring wat ons betreft :)

@@WeLeaf dank voor je reactie, ik ken de fietsbussen van cycletours, wordt alleen een lange zit. De tgv lijkt ons comfortabeler, en het stukje brussel sittard is goed te doen op de fiets. Maar bedankt!

@@dickgerritsen2834 Klopt, is wel even een lange zit, maar het is een nachtbus dus je kan wel slapen. Wij kwamen rond 11u aan in Eindhoven en moesten toen nog een uurtje naar huis fietsen. Dit was voor ons de goedkoopste en makkelijkste oplossing.

@@WeLeaf bezig geweest een trein te boeken....overstappen...fiets uit elkaar halen....geklooi met de site. Toch maar geboekt bij Cycletours.

@@dickgerritsen2834 Ha! Veel plezier met de voorbereidingen en het hele avontuur! Dat wordt een prachtige reis :)

Dankjewel Leo! Het is een fantastische route om te fietsen :)

Thank you so much! We didn't find our basecamp yet but it will come. We just need some patience :)

Hi! This is a Nordiccab multisport trailer (nordiccab.com/). We use the setup without the part for children and use it for skiing, cycling and walking. We have it over 3 years now, used is a lot and there isn't any wear and tear at all :)

@@WeLeaf Thank you, I will check that company out.

We are big fans of Bergans of Norway and Patagonia :). They both have all layers, in wool or substitute fabrics. Any specific layers you would like to know?

@@WeLeaf I'm not looking for any specific layer, but thank you already 🙂 I'll check Bergans of Norway which I don't know.
