Always like having a good side quest. I usually just stumble into them along the way, i have a few more, but here are some:
- Hit up all the pump tracks. That one i do on every tour really, kinda surprised about how many bike pump tracks or skateparks i come across.
- I started playing “don’t use the power bank” on a 2,5 week long tour. I lost this game on the 9th day, but only because i didn’t know there was a cafe a couple hundred meters further down the road. After i lost i wasn’t too keen on keeping on playing anymore, don’t really remember.
- “Guess the Italian” - In the border regions to Italy i tried to guess number plates of overtaking cars before i could see them. I had no false positives, but a few false negatives. I was impressed by my guessing skills, or by the consistency of italian drivers. This game then somehow faded out in somewhere Italy i guess.
Anybody else got some side quests / mini games they’re playing?
You probably could, I just do it once a day. That way I don’t feel pressure to go too fast all day long. It’s usually good when you have a long day ahead of you, with nothing interesting along the way or with bad weather. If I know I have a lot of sightseeing or nice company, I try to focus on just enjoy the riding itself
