The best part of solo travel is the people you meet - The Baltic Sea Loop E8

Описание: If you like awesome trails and sandy terrain, this is the episode for you. I'm back on Section 5 of the Trans Euro Trail in Western Poland, continuing southwards from the city of Międzyrzecz.

It didn't take long before I met a local Polish rider, and what started as a quick chat turned into an all-day mission. For the first time on this trip, I had company on the trails, and the timing couldn't have been better. We navigated tight single tracks, deep pine forests, and even crossed paths with more local riders before picking up a fellow traveler from Germany to the team!

This section of the trail is a rider's dream: narrow single tracks, endless gravel, and some of the deepest sand I’ve encountered on my KTM 690 Enduro R so far. But the real highlight wasn't just the terrain — it was my new riding buddies.

Ending the day in Żagań with a cold beer and a shared dinner was the perfect reminder that while solo travel is rewarding, the friends you make along the way are what you remember most. This was, without a doubt, the best day of the trip so far!
