Goofy on a Bike

As I continued preparing for my dream adventure during the last few months, I felt something had changed. I already achieved the physical and mental state you would expect from someone who wants to experience the world on a bicycle. This is why I decided to push my limits by competing in the upcoming HLC race.

Almost a year has passed since my last post, in which I announced my plans to fulfill my childhood dream and go cycling around the world. Many aspects of my life have changed since that announcement. I would like to share my progress since then, my plans until I go, and why I am going in April 2024.

My life has been stable in recent years. I am a single man in my early 30s, working as a software engineer in the fintech industry, renting an apartment in the city center alone, able to afford the latest technologies, going on a vacation every now and then, and dining in fancy restaurants often, but, something has been bothering me ever since I can remember being myself.

Following my latest adventure cycling from the Red Sea in Eilat to the Mediterranean Sea in Tel Aviv during the Israeli winter, I would love to share what gear I used, what worked well for me, and what didn't.
