Mexico with my trailer

Bertrand has decided to go on a solo trip with his bike and his Aevon trailer STD 100.

The goal is to cycle from Mexico to Ushuaïa. To start, the road will go along the south coast of the Gulf of Mexico, the bay of Campeche (bahía de Campeche) and through different Sierras : of Villa Alta, of Miahuatlán.

After saving money for a few months Bertand prefers to travel alone, so as to be completely free and enjoy his bike trip the way he likes. First step : choosing the material. Each gram counts so you have to leave with only the essentials. To carry his stuff, Bertrand chose the Aevon trailer STD 100, large enough to carry clothes and bivouac stuff. With its shock absorber, the STD 100 trailer is able to follow the bike on all types of tracks.

Leaving for a bike trip of at least 2 years through countries with different climates requires to take the most technical gear.

First step, the city of Campeche.

After two days of more than 90km with wind, I decide to listen to my body and to rest for a day in Campeche, a beautiful city with a colonial atmosphere. It’s a fortified city from the 17th century. It is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and essentially lives from petrol and shrimps.

We will follow Bertrand’s adventures in the months to come. Don’t hesitate to check out his blog full of adventure and encounters.

I’m writing from Puerto Escondido, a beer in one hand, with the sound of the waves in the background. The sunset was beautiful, like the body board session I enjoyed this evening. Real holidays begin, chill, beach and surfing…;)

Through Corsica with an Aevon trailer

Mike and Pascale went for a trip through Corsica by bike so they could test their tandem and their Aevon trailer STD 100 before going to Asia.

Pascale and Mike were delighted :

“A real pleasure ! The tandem rides easily, it’s safe to go for a few days pulling a loaded trailer.

As for the Aevon trailer, you don’t feel it ! Loaded or not, the result is the same : light and flexible. Moreover, the hitch is high quality and enables you to make U-turns.”

During their Corsica holidays, the lovers cycled a lot !
In a few days, they travelled for 200km, stopped for sightseeing and hiking.

Mike and Pascale went from Bastia to Calvi on the coast.

First day : Centuri through the Cap Corse. The Cap Corse is a kind of peninsula of about 40km.
For this first day, they travelled for about 65km.

Second day : Farinole with 60km again and beautiful beaches of black sand.

The duo stopped at Calvi. Due to the heat, the desert of the Agriates was closed because of the risk of fire.

With 200km on the roads of Corsica, Mike and Pascale really tried the trailer :

“We mostly used back roads and traks and the stability is amazing. We feel no discomfort and the trailer doesn’t slow us.

The Aevon trailer is a useful and practical investment and we can’t wait to use it in Asia !”
