Germany

In what is seemingly becoming a yearly tradition, Pizza Gravel took to the forests for an overnighter in eastern Brandenburg, just a short jaunt from Berlin. It was the perfect opportunity to soak in the last of the spring sun with friends and huddle around a campfire together in joyful anticipation of summer adventures near and far.
Ukraine

My country is torn apart by war. We don’t sleep because of the shelling that happens daily, but we fight and will continue to fight. Riding a bicycle is a way to immerse ourselves in the old peaceful times. This is a scene from a trip a friend I had been planning for years in peacetime, and we were only able to make it happen now during a night filled with the sounds of sirens and anti-aircraft fire.
England

A beautifully sunny bank holiday weekend in the UK gave us the chance to finally visit the nearby city of Ely, riding from our front door through endless flat farmland on tarmac roads and pine forests on gravel fire tracks. It offered an opportunity to test out some kit options before a bigger 15-day trip across Norway next month.
