I Traveled Through France With Only What I Could Carry on My Bike, and I Loved Every Mile

I am very new to cycling. In fact, I hadn't been on a bicycle in roughly a decade when I moved to Austria. I didn't spend years training for this trip. A few months leading up to it I tried to be intentional about getting out for rides and pushing myself so I would be prepared. Was it still a challenge? You bet! My legs were extremely tight after pedaling for seven straight days. But I did it, and I was amazed at my own strength day after day.
