TandemTravelers : Who are they? Why do they need it?
Super trip in tandem. 14+countries 60+ days. 5500-6500 km June - September.
My name is Vanya, and my girlfriend is Katya)
We are tourists from Kyiv.
I have a good experience of hiking (3rd class participant) and water tourism (1st class leader), but we decided to try our hand at cycling.
+ every day, since last summer, I have been riding a wheelchair to work.

Here are a few words about our trip:
We will go on a tandem trip around Europe in early July.
We will visit more than 14 countries.
We'll drive over 6.000. km in tandem.
We will keep a diary from each of the participants.
There will be daily posts with photos and video content.

Equipment in the trailer.
Trailer on an individual project and with a load capacity of 50kg
The weight of the train will be about 37kg and the length will be about 2m
Why the hell did we decide to do this, or in short our goals:
1. Cycle through Transnfagaras (One of the most beautiful roads in the world. In 2009, Top Gear hosts tested their sports cars on this road, and Jeremy Clarkson called it the best way to ride sports cars)
2. Personally meet R. Messner (a great climber. The first one who solo climbed Everest without oxygen during the monsoon period
3. Get to the final of the Tour de France
4. Get an autograph from Chris Froome (3-time Tour de France champion)
We will also review our equipment before and after the trip. Describe how it behaved and give brief advice.
We will be very glad to have colleagues and friends on any of the sections of the route.
Here I will talk about the nuances of preparation, the difficulties and more.
