Tips
I have read lots of articles about planning long bicycle tours, including what to bring, how to pack, how to train, and so on. In the sections below, beside my tips, you can find an extensive collections of links (although some of them are in German).
As I'm more interested in Transalpine MTB tours, I have tried to summarise what I think is important to know when planning such tours based on my personal experience collected during years of mountain biking across the Alps.
